Context
- I admin a server for PHP and Java Web developers
- I have to run a Gentoo host which have LXC guests (also Gentoo-only).
- About the LXC guests
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP4 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.2 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.3 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with Tomcat + Oracle + Oracle's Java
- I'll also need to host several ready to boot VMWare Windows VM images
  (containing IE6, for compatibility tests): I guess I'll have to
  install a VMWare server
- I *only* want to install with the distribution packaging tool.

Is Gentoo a good choice? I think yes because:
- Installing PHP4, PHP5.2 is just about unmasking and install
- Installing VMWare server is easy

But...
- Installing Oracle's Java is not so easy: http://goo.gl/tbBFW

I love Gentoo but why not PROXMOX VR (2.0) as virtualization backend (kvm and vm)

kvm as virtualization system (uses vmware images)
openvz as containers of different os (gentoo, centos, etc)

you will not have problems in mantain host system just guests
vmware-server seems to be disappeard from gentoo tree and trust me it's terrible (also stops at 2.6.28 kernel due to big kernel lock)
