[SLUG] UML / VMWare

I am looking for opinions - the pros/cons - on UML and VMWare.

I will be building servers to house multiple Oracle installations to be
used as development DBs and I wish to run them in self-contained virtual
environments. Does anyone have experience running Oracle on Linux (on
Linux) in a virtual environment? Can anyone think of any pros or cons in
running this in UML or VMWare? Or why they feel one would be better than
the other?

Here is my only criteria -

- The VM environment can run Oracle.
- I can backup the image (or clone the image for backups) with little
interruption to the Oracle instances.
- Control over memory and CPU utilization between the VM environments and
the hosts.

Thanks.
Matt
