Your clear misunderstanding of what the conversation was about is evident you haven't attempted to use XS and XO.
I fully admit that I stopped reading the thread about 5 posts in.
But I did and do have an XS and XO system currently running that I just haven't migrated away from XS yet.
I'm at the point where I could use ESXi free and never be able to tell the difference other than some scripts would need modified. I'd also have a wider range of tools to use.
No templates is a bit one for me.
Is that still the case with the web ui? I though the only limitation these days was the backup API.
Yeah, you need vcenter for templates

This is why I don't use HyperV
Setup new server gave it a name and IP connected to it via HperV Manager on Windows 10 Pro machine:-

Tried 5nine when creating a switch:-

Do I try KVM?
Or go straight to what I know and XenServer? - 
Am I right in thinking KVM is not a type 1 hypervisor as in install on the host from a iso?
You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM. - 
@hobbit666 KVM is already built in to the fedora-branch of distros. Not sure about Ubuntu, but I would imagine so. Just have to set it up.I would also imagine that the Linux environment that you set up for initial installation would be considered Dom0.

You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.Why would the way you install it not make it a type 1? When you install it on a Linux distribution the distribution becomes a VM on top of KVM. It's similar, but different, to how Xen and Hyper-V work.

That's why I was asking to me installing a OS then the hypervisor doesn't sound like Type1 to me, hence asking.
If it then changes the way the machine runs then yes it might be a type1
  my only exposer to KVM is seeing it mentioned

Ok, KVM is a type 1 hypervisor.
