KVM with libvirt running on the server and virt-manager on a linux box controlling it works well for me. I have 2 boxen running this setup. I hand craft my xml files for libvirt. It is also the easiest way to get bridged networking up and running. Keep in mind that you do lose some KVM config options when using libvirt - use friendliness always has a trade off :) Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
