One of the biggest advances IMO : spice-server, spice-client
Note: spice-server is only available for 64bit systems.

Seriously, I'm looking at some VB options, specifically KVM, but this peaked my interest.

Sure, not only will a be a guinea pig but will buy you a guiness wink.gif

:
Error: Package: 2:qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6_0.8.x86_64 (sl-security)
Requires: libspice-server.so.0()(64bit)
Available: spice-server-0.4.2-15.el6.x86_64 (sl)
libspice-server.so.0()(64bit)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I rebuilt:
qemu-0.14.0-7.fc15.src.rpm
seabios-0.6.0-1.fc13.src.rpm
vgabios-0.6c-2.fc14.src.rpm
and got everything installed. Cooking lamb on the fire for the family now but, soon as I am finished with that I will give it all a test drive.

Many thanks Leigh, smile.gif

Wake me when they have Aero/Glass/3D support, and I'm there.

My biggest issues with KVM/Xen have been the VNC type interface and the lack of 3d acceleration. I haven't tried spice, but it sounds like we're on the right track. VMWare has been pretty good to me but this last release (7.x) has been problematic for me- it won't update/download the vmware-client tools for me, so I ended up reverse engineering the component file format so I could extract the ISOs (http://webtrotter.com/vmware by the way). Long story short, I'd love to save the money, but I really need professional grade windows guest support. I'm looking forward to your future developments.

Xen has a better solution: PCI-E passthrough. Think of it, works quite well and 3D acceleration is definitely going to be supported this time around :3
