[ale] which distribution for KVM and OpenECP

[JD]

Proxmox may be what you want.  It supports both OpenVZ and KVM VMs.
It lets you create a cluster of VM servers so you can migrate VMs when 
it is time to do hardware updates or maintenance. Of course, sometimes 
the software updates are ugly, but that applies to any virtualization 
technology that you modify.

I have not gotten to run Proxmox yet, but it is on my list when some 
hardware gets freed up around here.
