David,
It would be great if you could get some notes on this. Even if they are
rough, it would be better than nothing. Having never messed with KVM
(I'm Debian/Xen for the most part), I really don't know much about it,
though I do engage in "religious wars" over KVM vs Xen vs Virtual Box
with from friends/associates of mine.
Anyway, if you had some brief notes, it would be great to include them.
