At the meeting everyone, including me, learnt something. Using virt-manager (aka Virtual Machine Manager), and so libvirtd (libvirt daemon), is definitely the way to go. The package description of virt-manager on Debian hasn't kept up with its progress, it's great! Thanks to Alick for letting us know about this. Advanced networking is also relatively easy using virt-manager. Even bridged type networking doesn't look too bad. Perhaps Alick or others could comment on this. Virt-manager can do the accelerated graphics I demonstrated and is much faster than when I used the QEMU GUI. In virt-manager for Video hardware choose Model: Virtio and tick "3D acceleration"; for Display choose Type: Spice server, Listen type: None, tick OpenGL. I still had issues with the pointing device in games, removing tablet device helped but then seem to have a mouse bounding box issue. Anyone know about this? Virt-manager, by default, creates a "Channel qemu-ga". This can be used to communicate with `qemu-guest-agent` inside the guest. Virt-manager can also manage Linux Containers (LXC). We're considering doing next month's meeting on that. What are you thoughts on this?
