Hello, I recently acquired a HP Proliant DL360 G6 for $100 on eBay and put 75GB of ram into it and was wondering what the best bare bones VM is so I can host multiple machines off of it.

 

PS: I would prefer the solution to be free or very cheap.

Either what @GDRRiley said, or ESXi. Have used on many hosts, did not have any problems. Its also free

Please quote me in any answers to my posts, so that I can read them easily and don´t forget about them. Thanks!

 

I love spending my time with PC tinkering, networking and server-stuff.

i'm not sure of your definition of bare bones but i've been using esxi free edition and its worked very well and has been quite reliable and most other options of looked at cost money

I've looked into ESXi but am wondering how many VMs you can do with the free version?even if you can create multiple VMs, I'm wondering if I should just make a single linux VM from there or make multiple VMs.

You can create unlimited VMs as much as I know.

I have two hosts, one of them is running 10 VMs without a problem.

Creating one Linux VM to run VMs in this VM really doesn't make any sense, sorry. Thats just a waste of your resources.
