- QEMU and VirtualBox. They both use KVM.

Virtualbox does not use kvm. It will use vt-x if you have it. kvm requires it.

- VirtualBox practically needs no manual. It's all mouse clicks. The only time I actually had to read something, was to convert VMDK to VDI format (using VBoxManage on command line in Windows) - QEMU requires manpage and shell script to store all the options you discovered. :-)

But the flexibility is great.

I'm not sure about "headless". From memory, I seems to have closer association with VirtualBox than with QEMU.

qemu's ability to run as a vnc server is handy. -- Len Sorensen
