Why each option
Hyper-V can be installed and run as a server role only on 64-bit editions of Windows Server operating systems.
Linux Enterprise Edition is a guest operating system that can run *within* Hyper-V, but Hyper-V itself does not run *on* Linux.
Hyper-V is a virtualization technology that runs as a role on 64-bit versions of Windows Server, such as Windows Server 2008. The host operating system must be 64-bit to support the virtualization capabilities and manage guest operating systems effectively.
Hyper-V requires a 64-bit operating system to function; it cannot be installed on a 32-bit version of Windows Server 2008.
While 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 does not support the Hyper-V role; Hyper-V was introduced with Windows Server 2008.
