I use openSUSE as the host OS, simply because the setup of bridge and tap interfaces is a "breeze" through Yast2. The host is a minimal setup and all services related machines run as guest in KVMs. I run DNS, DHCP and openLDAP in a CentOS 5.3 KVM guests. To the best of my knowledge, the distros you mention, require hand editing the network scripts to enable the interfaces at boot time. No big deal if you know what you are doing. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
