I'm also setting up my low-cost environment with a local server Intel G2130 and 8Gb ram + AMD3000+ with 4Gb with Openstack+KVM... AWS is too expensive for tests... I hope to finish the setup today.
What do you use usually: KVM or Xen? I need to learn how to use them, which should I choose? I want develop integration with No-SQL and make my thesis project with a load balancer plugin/proxy...
