oVirt is another alternative.
Completely open source, and backed by Redhat. Arguably more mature
development-wise than proxmox.. no freemium stuff, and can be controlled
via shell and web interface. It has remote vm console, backup,
clustering and all the other junk a decent hypervisor should have.
I've been running a mix of linux and windows vm's for a few months, and
haven't run into too much trouble.

See, this is why I run proxmox though. Debian host, zfs, PV and hvm,
plus just about every feature I need in my environment... With a
webUI. Do I have to have the webUI? Absolutely not, but it is
efficient for my needs.

This is just my opinion: Disregard VMWare and use a Linux based
hypervisor with Xen. You can use either PV (paravirtualized) or
HVM (hardware virtualized) guests on the same hypervisor.
My typical hypervisor setup is Debian Jessie AMD64 and the latest
Xen.
Xen is what powers Amazon EC2 and a bunch of other services. It
has a learning curve but is very much worth it. Everything is
free, whether GPL, Apache or BSD licensed.

Is there a free version of VMWare? What are limitations vs
paid? How
do you manage containers? Does it support software raid? Does it
have scheduled backup capabilities? How does it compare to
Proxmox?
I have a few linux centos servers: directadmin, email, DNS,
speedtest,
mysql database and box running lots of perl scripts to monitor my
network. Would like to move them all to data center on one
box and a
second box there to shove backups on.
