virt-manager on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
Today I’ve been playing with virt-manager/libvirt (a Redhat emerging technologies project) on the new upcoming Ubuntu release Intrepid Ibex (8.10) and.. well.. it just works! I’m using it with KVM, for which you need hardware virtualization support.
It’s quite easy to create a new virtual machine, just clicky-clicky in the GUI, select an ISO to boot from and you’re ready to go. Even networking is automatically configured for you (using NAT by default). I’m impressed! Thank you, Redhat and Ubuntu developers, wherever you are!
