CentOS - Apr 2007 - VMWare vs Parallels, and Zen

I've seen several references to running VMWare under CentOS, but
does anybody know how well Parallels runs under CentOS?

On a related note, now that Zen is as mature as it is, are
commercial VMs really much better than Zen?

Parallels is Mac only.

Do you mean Xen? Xen isn't as a mature as VMWare is on HVM (unmodified
guests).

I use VMWare Server on my workstation and Xen on my servers (all
para-virtualized).

There is a version of Parallels for Linux too.

I think the VMware workstation is more mature, but costs more $$$

Xen is really for those who are willing to get their hands dirty. VMware
server is free and runs well.
