There's also VMware ESXi
<http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/faq.html>

I haven't used it, but I think next time I install a system from scratch
I give it a shot.

I think it's the only free bare metal virtualizer. Differently from
pretty much all the others, it sits directly on the hardware, and
basically all OSes are running in a "bare metal VM". One downside is
probably that you need all the right hardware drivers for ESXi.
