Configuring a test box with multiple VM's

[JD Austin]

Proxmox, your preferred Linux OS with Virtualbox, or using your preferred
Linux OS's KVM/Qemu virtualization will all work about as well.  Proxmox
gives you a nice interface to manage it all; there are some 'free' VMWare
versions you can use as well.
