Some simple ones could be like qemu.

VMWare requires an ESXi box to work.

Maybe a poll in the community forum?

VMWare is going to be the one of most used. Maybe we could virtualize an EXSi inside virtualbox?

Yes, you can run esxi nested, I've done it at work for a migration.

Line 35: Unsupported hardware family 'virtualbox-2.2'

can you guys solve this.

thanks in advance :) we esxi users would love it it works ;D

A small company is not going to get involved with VMWare / ESXi.

VirtualBox does not seem suitable for running unattended as a service.

I would say that the libvirt/KVM/Qemu combination would be the most popular.

The "Virtual Machine Manager" (virt-manager) provides a reasonable GUI for "normal" admins, and is available in the standard Ubuntu and RedHat repositories.
