You're definitely right, but I don't have much experience with KVM so I'm not comfortable offering that.
It's OK though, I can go either way on this really. Will probably end up just splitting it among my own friends.

I've sent in a few tickets that I explicitly stated "ultra low priority" and they still got back to me quickly on a weekend. Pretty good stuff for $30/month.
Can you remove /usr/share/doc without causing huge problems? Also...is there a way to clean up /usr/share/locale?
I've got a EDIS 1GB KVM starving for diskspace.
He's got a cheap rented dedicated server, don't think he's going to go through all of that especially with the unaffordable VMware licenses. The free ESXi has a 32GB physical limit on the box.
You can't really count OpenVZ as virtualization so if you put that in a hypervisor...you'll just end up with the performance of that VM. If you nest something like HyperV in ESX, then you're really going to take a performance hit.
It's desktop grade hardware so I wouldn't recommend it. The CPU itself is great though, 8 cores at 4GHz non hyperthreaded. It's also basically a blackhole for power at 125W.
I sold a Q9650 I had sitting in my drawer for like two years and bought the AMD+mobo for an extra $20.
