Or also have a look at Proxmox. KVM is very good but the management tools
are limited. There's VM Manager which you have to run over an X session on
your Windows PC which I think is more complicated than it should be, and
the web-based admin tools for KVM are very limited. Proxmox, on the other
hand, is built around a superb web interface for managing the hypervisor
and it's VMs/containers. And it's super-simple to install while giving you
pretty much the same features you'd get with KVM (KVM is under the hood).
And it's free just like KVM (though you can opt for a paid subscription if
you want support from the company rather than the community).
