I have recently been evaluating Proxmox, and it's near perfect for what I need. But it has a major drawback, in that it does not have LXC support yet, and requires a customised kernel for OpenVZ. In fact it's a customised distro, which is fine if your installing it on your own hardware, but a bit of a problem installing it at a datacentre on someone else's machine. When I thought about it, all I needed was a recent distro (debian or whatever), and a simple GUI. SSH into the box, install LXC, and the network bridge. Start an ncurses app, and start creating & managing containers. Job done.
