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. Rod On 02/16/2015 11:07 PM, David J. Allen wrote: > On 02/16/2015 08:11 PM, R. W.
