virtualization - latest virt-manager/kvm

Nick_C · 03-08-2012, 11:35 AM

Any ideas which distros support the latest version of virt-manager (0.9.1) and associated qemu-kvm/libvirt? I need the USB functionality which comes with this but don't know which distros have support for this yet.

Thanks,

Rolling release ones? On gentoo virt-manager 0.9.1 is in repo (not as stable package tho). I'd guess it's in arch too

Tried Arch but found a few reasons against it, not least the time it takes to install and configure everything manually. Also found it's installers lack of dependent orphan checking less than perfect.

Never tried Gentoo, currently downloading it and will give it a try. However, not too sure if Gentoo is ideal for a Linux noobie lile myself though.

If you like the idea of Gentoo but would rather start out with a system that works right away without all the manual configuration and compilation, try Sabayon.
