I personally think that having a dedicated box in disk-less
configuration is the best option out there. The ability to quickly go
through series of hands/reboots without any associated fsck runs and
without the risk of terminally damaging any local FS is priceless. If
qemu can be tricked into disk-less booting, it should be just as good
though.
