Check out ClearOS. It's based on CentOS and can install extra CentOS
packages you need. If you add CentOS repositories in yum config you
could add KVM instead of VirtualBox, or headless VirtualBox it that is
possible.
Almost all you need is there and packaged in nice Web interface. I also
always add Webmin to it.
