Hi,
we've used an vmware image for testing our config and new nagios packages and 
everything went fine. We now changed to xen guests because I prefer xen ;)

I see no problems with running nagios in a virtual machine.

Do you use the official packages from SLES or the ones from buildservice? Or 
do you install nagios from sources?
