I'm not comparing anything. I'm not even referring to the virtualization functionality of it. It could be doing anything else and it wouldn't make a difference. For KVM tool I am not much more than a mere user. Trying it out was tedious for me, as it is for anyone else who isn't a kernel developer. That's all I'm saying. Making things easier for some kernel developers but ignoring that at the same time it makes things harder for users I consider a not so clever move. Just wanted to point that out; feel free to ignore it, your priorities are probably different. Kevin
