Re: Thoughts on kvm ?

^Thank you very much Krisbee, appreciated. Few of those I knew, but it is always good to know stuff which worked for others. Thanks again.

Left this one of yesterdays' list:

It may not be entirely current, but it provides a starting point. 

Doing this is not something of interest to me, but I believe this now extends to Intergrated graphic Passthrough on supported hardware.

Re: Thoughts on kvm ?

Here's part 1 of a ?-part series on using KVM.

@BLizgreat!:  How is accessing peripherals on the host from the client under KVM?

I've pretty much used VirtualBox up to now (Windows 8 VM), but am considering other options.  Using peripherals connected to the host from the client always seems problematic under VirtualBox; e.g. doesn't work.  Last week I attempted to install a customized Windows disk & partition utitity on a USB thumb drive and was unable to do so because I just could never get VirtualBox to even see the drive.

Haven't really tried much Krunch but virt-manager is really easy to use overall imo. So if you've got the time would try it out and see. I like the fact that it's supposed to be so well integrated into gnu/Linux, so should be well supported now and in future.

virt-manager is mentioned as one of the packages to download in part 1 of the tute.

When I was a UNIX system administrator, "kvm" referred to a keyboard/video/mouse switch for headless server hosts.
