Hi there
After messing around I've finally given uo on OPENSUSE -- has a nice beautiful desktop but I don't like the new releases every so often and it isn't the most stable for getting a VM server to run.
I after a lot of persuasion was persuaded to try DEBIAN - latest version with KDE --
Well I wish I had used it earlier -- the package manager (software istaller) - absolute breeze with APT GET - whatever
Installing the KVM hypervisor was fine and this must be the snappiest Linux system I've ever tried (apart from the specialized tiny distibutions).
First VM (XP) running just fine --will be virtualising a W2003 server next and some other stuff.
What I like with this HYPERVISOR is that you can control the VM's from the HOST if you want -- Esxi requires a separate WINDOWS machine.
Debian perhaps isn't the best for beginners but it's so stable and installing software is SIMPLE. Well worth getting to grips with.
(Multi-media - VLC and dragonplayer) work right out of the box too -- no messing around with untangling installed stuff (OPENSUSE) and replacing with PACMAN repository data).
Cheers
