Redhat current pushing RHEV "Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization" a combination of KVM and SPICE. Currently here in the office I'm using KVM, hosting various virtual servers with minor tweaks in virtio drivers to attain full capabilities of the hardware (esp. network card). But if you wish to have a Windows Guest i think Virtualbox is the best currently or the commercial VMWare Workstation. The 2D graphics of KVM hosted WinXP is not sluggish but far from the performance when it is from Virtualbox/VMware WS.
But somewhat I think (IMHO) the future of virtualization currently is KVM. also try convirt 2.0 for managing multiple KVM host. --Artos.ronald(); On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 10:18 PM, Harish Pillay <[email protected]>wrote: > > I had the opposite experience.
