Default Has anyone tried to Virtualize Windows Server 2008 on CentOS 5?????

We're using Linux's CentOS 5.3 as the host operating system. CentOS come with a virtualization program in which we tried to load Windows Server 2008. It WOULD NOT WORK. Instead we ended up going with Debian which worked perfectly. Just wondering if anyone has tried to do this before and if so......HOW ?????? Is it possible?????

From what I see, CentOS 5.3 comes with Xen 3.0.3 and Debian Lenny (assuming your using Lenny) comes with Xen 3.2.1 (I do see something about OpenVZ...though never heard of it). Possibly support for '08 was added later between 3.0 and 3.2.

I'd actually suggest using VMWare Server 2.x if you want free VM software.

edit: might of had better luck in the Linux section...
