If the server has no GUI, install ubuntu-virt-server to be able to run KVM virtual machines. Now on your desktop computer install ubuntu-virt-manager to be able to manage the VMs on the server remotely.
Proxmox is good too. It has a nice web GUI but it's a full blown OS based on debian and maybe a little bit harder to setup than virt-manager or virtual box.
not a complicated setup,
just install from the cd, and thats it, unless you need to have some weird partitioning scheme
Setup VMs to bind to vmbr0 (mine is more complicated since its actually on the net, and has two vyatta firewalls....), and inside the VM, set a static IP.
You should then be able to access the VM from computers on the network using the static ip
simple
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
