The idea I like about Proxmox is the fact it supports both KVM machines (so it can run a full OS such as Windows, Linux etc) and OpenVZ containers (which Gordon has mentioned before) so I could mix Linux and Windows on the same servers if I wish.
I'm using LXC, (not OpenVZ) and have sort of embraced it in earnest and moved almost all my hosted servers over to it with virtually no disruption nor detriment to performance. It's one kernel per server, but each container could be a different Linux distribution - E.G. I have one host running Debian Lenny hosting Lenny, Sarge and Woody virtual servers...
Even my clients who want a dedicated server now get it inside a container - although in those cases it's simply one container per server - the advantage I have is that I can then trivially move it to new hardware for whatever reason...
With Containers (LXC and OpenVZ) it's just one kernel - you can't do different kernels or OSs, but I don't need that.
