I find Xen easy to set up as well. For the same reason (done it several t= imes). What I really need is a VM server with a decent frontend (multiplatform a= nd where I can specify which user can access which VM and have some restr= ictions on network settings for new VMs) And where I can specify fast (SSD) stprage for the memory snapshots and n= ormal (Spinning) storage for the disks (Using LVM or ZFS snapshots) I might end up writing my own frontend, but libvirt would then be a usefu= ll API. -- Joost --=20 Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
