Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to experiment with
virtualization in Ubuntu 10.04 and have found the following list
of hopefully relevant names: Xen, OpenVZ, KVM, Vservers, EC2 and
Solaris Zones, although this is just a sample list and the
question is not exclusive to these.  From the community's
experience, what virtualization solution should I use on Ubuntu
to learn with? Factors are ease of setup, ease of use. Stability
is also important. Secondary are memory usage and performance
issues.  What do I want to virtualize? Well, pretty much
anything the chosen software will allow, under the banner of
experimentation.  share|improve this question What problem are
you trying to solve? –  andol Aug 16 '10 at 8:19 This sounds
almost suspiciously like a community wiki question. –  Marco
Ceppi Aug 16 '10 at 12:19 @ando: Nothing beyond what the
question states about experimentation. David provided a great
set of options in that context - see accepted answer below.
Thanks. –  John K Aug 16 '10 at 13:17 Friendliest to
