<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div></div><div>I'm finally replacing my home server which is an old P4 and this means<br><span>I get to rethink how I have things setup. On my laptop I spin up</span><br><span>virtual machines to play with new things all the time. I would like</span><br>
<span>to move a lot of these guests to the new home server now that it</span><br><span>supports virtual cpu extensions but have not decided how to configure</span><br><span>things. I was thinking about using vmware's "free" esx stuff but</span><br>
<span>since it's management interface is a window's only program that is</span><br><span>out. So I started playing with KVM over the weekend and I can't say</span><br><span>I'm in love but I bet most of it's a learning curve as I've been using</span><br>
<span>VMWare products for over 10 years on the desktop and server.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Does anyone have any recommendations for a KVM management suit that</span><br><span>allows me to still use the libvirt command line tools if needed. I'm</span><br>
<span>looking for something that is either web centric or provides native</span><br><span>clients for Linux and OSX. I've looked at</span><br><span><a href="http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools">http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools</a> but would like a few</span><br>
<span>suggestions of which ones are "good". So far I like cloudstack but</span><br><span>have yet to try and set it up.</span><br><span></span><br><span>And is VNC really the preferred way to view a GUI from a KVM guest?</span><br>
<span>I've never really cared for VNC because it always seems "slow" to me</span><br><span>so I was hoping to see something that worked a bit better in the KVM</span><br>world to access my guests which require a GUI.<br>
