Hypervisor advice



I've had a NetBSD/i386 machine that's been running since the late 90s
and various hardware iterations. I think it's time to move it to a
virtual machine. I need new hardware as well. It has about a 10 year
old AMD processor and 1 gig of memory. This is plenty, but the
hardware is getting unreliable.

I need advice on hypervisors and if it requires certain hardware,
hardware advice as well.

bhyve appeals to me for obvious reasons but I've never used it. I use
KVM and VMWare at work. Also VMWare Fusion on my Mac. Would prefer not
to pay too much if I need to pay for something. Never tried Xen but I
see posts about it here once in a while.

I plan on running other stuff on the hypervisor, probably OpenBSD.
Possibly something else as well, maybe a NAS or something.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Andy
