I run Debian and KVM on my laptop from 2014, 64 bit AMD with 4GB of ram, so it has it's limits. It was $300 back then. Xen or XenServer can run inside Virtualbox (sadly KVM cannot, the VMX/SMV flags don't get passed to the guest, but nothing says you couldn't run KVM on the laptop hardware and still use it for the everyday too)E
Everything I'm doing with Debian (at least pertaining to your goals) Should be doable with RHEL too. The entry point for running KVM is easier than it's ever been.
