I am thinking of installing a couple of virtual machines on my Debian
Testing amd64 system. I am trying to find out what choices in
hypervisors do I have to accomplish that. One open source choice is Xen.
Vmware is another choice, but not open source.

I am sort of banking towards Xen. There are instructions on the web on
how to install the amd64 version of it on Testing. I intend to install
at least Windows XP and Windows 7. I presume there will be factors at
play what kind of virtual machine I install, x86 versus x86_64, on my
AM3 socket (using AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B55 Processor) motherboard. (?)

Any other choices? What do people on Debian usually use? Can you give
tips what to look out for?

Thanks.

The most straight virtualisation solution on Debian testing (squeeze) is KVM.
You can use virt-manager and libvirt to manage the VMs.

PS:
virt-manager can also manage Xen VMs.

Thanks for these suggestions. I am looking into these as well.
