> If you want an extremely easy to use gui that gives you access to KVM and LXC virtualisations, along with easy access web remote consoles, snapshots and backups My understanding is that alpine is a very light weight linux ditro and isn't a productised, easy to use hypervisor with full control via a gui. It's a bit like me saying "I like music editing using xxx because it has a tonne of value added, makes it easy, but it requires an amount of hardware resource" and someone replying "pah, I just use a reel-to-reel, some sharp scissors and a roll of tape!" - unless I'm missing something, it's not really comparable. edit: as tfigment pointed out along side my comment, I'm slightly annoyed that proxmox is a full-fat linux install for the hypervisor. The comparison I tried to make was with vmware ESXi which boots from an SD card or USB stick and is almost entirely held in memory after boot. ESXi has a whole number of other issues attached to it, but the fact I can throw a £10 usb stick in a server and use that as a boot drive, rather than "wasting" two of my SATA/SAS bays to a pair of real disks with the hypervisor installed on is nice.
