Good to know. Maybe I'll give it a try. The following is more for my own to do list. Feel free to respond if you know of a good Gentoo oriented web page for using KVM. - I believe I've read that somehow I can convert my VMware Player image to something that KVM runs directly. Is that correct? If so I can move there pretty quickly, at least in terms of a simple test. - I suppose there's a bunch of kernel config I need to do first, as well as emerge some sort of KVM apps?
