I almost always suggest VMware ESXi for virtualization. It's amazing and powerful, but it's also relatively expensive. Since you want it for personal use, I think the paid version is overkill anyway. Not speaking from experience, only reading docs and opinion articles, I think KVM is the way to go for a Hypervisor. You can layer libVirt (http://libvirt.org/) on top of it for management purposes. I think this is the recommended way to manage KVM anyway. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
