Kyle, You were absolutely awesome! I downloaded virt-manager, had some repo issues with my distro but I assembled the ebuid into it. It is my hope to virtualize WIN7 and XP64 as guests inside of Sabayon (GENTOO) in the laptop, and for the Desktop, I may have a special project, where I might, instead of going Fedora, buy an individual liscense with support for RHEL and have a bunch of ISO's spin virutalized inside the machine, have the peripheral machines work as guest terminals to a network os server, a centralized home network, instead of the peer to peer. (Its at 6 gigs right now, working on increasing it to 8 gigs of ram, and with a motherboard update, beyond). Your speech inspired me to take a total plunge into full virtualization.
Keep up with the great presentation guys by the way. You all have been helpful and great in getting me to learn more and appreciate Open Source. I look forward to coming to these meetings every third Tuesday. Thank you, and lets keep the cause alive!
