     @brainspoil @qapsl0ck Thanks guys, Are any of those industrial strength regarding performance and snapshotting? I don't mind paying for it.

     @mariosk8s what for? I use virtualbox for single instance vms and it works great. No idea how it scales though... !Linux

     @scottpashley vmware workstation running several dev envs on a 64bit ubuntu beast. But also use multi snapshots.

     @sazzer Yeah, i'm looking for for something that can take multiple cores and do snapshots. UI is nice but not a must.

     @mariosk8s virtualbox will use all but one cores if you let it, and I believe it can do snapshots too. I've never tried the snapshots though

     @mariosk8s then take a look at Xen Citrix it will give you a company to sue if things go awry hehehe

     @brainspoil >"a company to sue" that's what i have right now, but i guess it is a form of competition.
