why waste all resources on single OS ? what if a program runs better on specific OS what will you do then ? Also if virus infects single OS your screwed
So by Virtualizing you're spreading out the resources to different OS's ?
i understand the program needing specifics or running better you'd want to have a way to get there,
what does virus protection have to do with single os?Why dont you watch some series about this first then come bk and ask us the hard questions
... These questions have already been answered though..

@WrCombs In the end, its fun to play with when your learning. If you manage servers you will obviously have more business reasons to do it. Until then, pick either hyper-v or kvm, which are hypervisors. Then read or watch videos on that technology. Then use an old desktop or laptop to play around with. I know you can get everything installed with kvm in a single command. From there you can use the command line or a gui to make vm's. In stall an OS in one of the vm's, play a bit, destroy it, do another. Then learn to script and automate it. Keep breaking stuff and learning about it. Its all fun and that is very roughly the process you will end up doing. At least thats what I did.

With those two, I would definitely get familiar with using powershell to manage Hyper-V and
virshto manage KVM. -
@WrCombs Also remember once you have vm's setup and running they are just files. So that also makes it real easy to backup with robocopy, veeam, rsync or borg. Its one of the many great advantages of virtualizing, your expanding your options alot.
