Hey Habr.
The point is the following. There is a server with Debian Lenny without x (SSH only, no graphics). I want to put a virtual machine there, and spin the usual WinduXR under it (we'll leave the issue of licensing for later) =)

Xen and the like won't work, since you can't touch the main system and take it down, in fact, too.
VirtualBox and VMWare require X, so they are not suitable either.

What do you advise?

Hmm, are Xes necessary for VirtualBox? Here is an example WEB interface for VirtualBox code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/

KVM.
Well, X is not needed for vbox. Only libs.

Why don't you like xen or kvm? And how are you going to deploy virtualization if the main system cannot be touched?

Xen HVM. VNC seems to be able to be thrown from the guest domain right away.

you can create a virtual screen with vncserver, and then turn around as you like.

Virtualbox does not require X, look towards VBoxHeadless and web muzzles. Moreover, vbox has a built-in rdp server, which makes it easy to connect to the machine.
