No, that was just a suggestion for a test install to figure out how it works. Once you know where everything belongs, java provides enough of a virtualization layer.

well, considering that I really don't have a server (or even a desktop
system) around that I can adequately set up and test, I'm thinking that
this might be a good time to strong arm the boss and buy a new server
that actually has hardware support for virtualization.

The free vmware server will run on about anything if it has enough RAM to give some to the guest(s).

Thus I am thinking that I could get a rack server with sufficient hard
drive space, 4 GB RAM and a couple of Xeon processors, wait until
CentOS-5.1 and set up so that I could have LTSP & alfresco running under
xen...this makes sense to me, do this make sense to you?

I'm not sure I see the point of virtualizing something that runs fine on the native OS and that you expect to run unchanged for a long time. On the other hand, I'd certainly recommend getting an up to date system with processors that can virtualize 64-bit guests just because those things are so much faster than the old boxes and you can run a couple of test instances without bothering your main system. I haven't set up xen, so I can't compare it against vmware, except that vmware's ability to run the same guest image on windows/linux/mac hosts has been handy for me.
