I tried virt-manager and liked the VirtualCentre-style view of my VMs that it gave me, but I think it's lacking in individual VM control such as network options, USB, or snapshots. All done very well in VirutalBox. It's what I'll continue to use, probably.Scainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388215714391813013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-27730302966771844362009-11-16T06:18:54.077-06:002009-11-16T06:18:54.077-06:00You say nothing about Xen.

So here (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21921/ ):<br /><br />A. Switch concepts from “Software Repositories” to “Online Product Inventories” (OPI). OPI can contain products of all types, including software, music, or grocery items.<br /><br />B. Create an online payment service called “Ubuntu Shopper Partner” (USP), which the online shopper can use to purchase products from OPI. This service will integrate with the package management software on the user’s PC so that stuff like product keys will be handled in a manner transparent to the user. USP will make money for Canonical through fees.<br /><br />C. There will be a program offering to include OPI in default Ubuntu installations in return for monetary compensation. All products in such OPI must be fully compatible with the Ubuntu release in which they are included.<br /><br />D. This obviously doesn’t come to exclude Free Software, only to add commercial options as well.ymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839758776973265558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-69298611798782815482009-11-14T05:58:05.318-06:002009-11-14T05:58:05.318-06:00Hi,

I regret though that you did not mention at all Linux Containers and the lxc tools. They are very potentially very good for non-accelerated virtualization and as replacements for OpenVZ and Linux-vservers.<br /><br />All of my Linux servers are Ubuntu based and I could do without the KVM overhead. I only need KVM for Windows virtualization.<br /><br />LXC really should be added to the virtualization options of Ubuntu. I hope you do.<br /><br />Best regards<br />PhilippeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085302880813304841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-38511392038886990682009-11-14T02:42:26.291-06:002009-11-14T02:42:26.291-06:00I tried the virt-manager interface on a 9.10 deskt...I tried the virt-manager interface on a 9.10 desktop last week.

I use libvirt mostly via virsh, but a nice GUI would allow people with less virsh experience to manage the virtual machines as well.<br /><br />Some efforts in this direction would certainly be very useful, at least to me!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760076079494164240noreply@blogger.com
