The management tool is not good, and the bridged networking requirement is very awkward, and it performed like a dog being beaten with a missing leg. I'm interested in trying it for RHEL 6 and CentOS 6, but until then I'm personally relying on VMWare ESX for institution virtualization, and Virtualbox because it's a much more usable configuration interface tool and uses "Right-Ctrl" to release the mouse from the virtualized console instead of "Ctrl-Alt". VMWare could learn a lot from Sun's and now Oracle's efforts with that tool. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
