Ok, i will have to check out what a LXC is before i start, but that helped a lot. Thanks
It's a bit like docker, in that it's a sort of isolated system, but you use it more like a virtual machine (VM). It's lighter than a VM because it uses the host kernel so you can run lots of them with out consuming too many resources.
In the Proxmox web interface, up in the top right corner there's a "Create CT" button. If you click through all that (once again I am recommending Ubuntu) you'll have your first LXC container up in a couple of minutes - the quick creating is another advantage over VM's. One of the joys of your excellent choice of Proxmox as a base is that you can easily experiment with such things.
