So again, I'm not debating the utility of virt-manager -- I think it certainly is a useful tool that fits a need that you and other users have. And I'm certainly not suggesting that we drop it from the archive, but rather move it from Main to Universe such that our stated support model actually matches the reality we have -- it's a GUI program that the Ubuntu Server Team doesn't maintain, and a Server-related program that doesn't fit the Desktop Team's current charter. :-Dustin -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
