In the past we talked about ESXi, and if that Pi doesnt have anything on it yet, one thing you can play with is ESXi on it. (If you wanted to that is.)

It works well, mine is around here somewhere.

The plus is you get a web console, and can spin up VMs on it. The downside, is those VMs can only be 64 bit VMs - ESXi on the Pi cannot run 32 bit guests (but 64bit guests can run 32 bit apps). Its probably not a big downside these days - it was only an issue for me running synchronet which doesnt compile on 64bit ARM (but the 32 bit version ran fine from memory).
