What's in your Virtual Machine lab?

Kyle, I use Citrix XenServer for my "permanent" infrastructure. I've found it to be easier to build a solid virtual server that I can multiple systems on without breaking a sweat. I found "supported" hardware much easier fo find for XenServer, as I built it from scratch with parts from a desktop I replaced. I have found I can run at least 4 virtual machines with my Intel Quad Core and 8Gb Memory. They aren't power houses by any means but for testing they work great. On my desktop I run VirtualBox.

Looking to put something together myself, but I'm not sure what I should grab. Wondering what everyone else uses (for vulnerability testing). Does everyone have machines such as, XP unpatched/SP1/2/3, Vista, 7? Linux distributions? Should I stick in some older kernel, 2.4.x, older versions of the current 2.6.x kernel? What about software? Older version of IE and FireFox? Older versions of services? Apache, MySQL, fileshare services? What else should I be looking at? I realize I may not be taking full advantage of virtualizing and what it has to offer, and seeing as how having a ton of computers (be it dual boot or not) is not an option, what do you guys do?
