Thank you, I hear what you're saying. I will give CentOS another try 
using virt-manager. I'm not sure yet how to achieve this on a server 
without any X-system. I found a bunch of different documentation, howtos 
and tutorials which I am reading now.
On my PC I have Windows 7 with VMware workstation. I have a VM with 
Ubuntu Desktop installed which I use for development. Maybe it is easier 
to start up that VM and use some tool to connect to the VNC server or 
virt-manager? I don't want to install an X-system on the server.
If everything works out I want to put the servers back in the data 
center and move some of my personal stuff on it using both Dell PE860 
servers in some sort of redundant configuration using Xen.
