Do you know of any active end-user mailing lists or forums for QEMU-KVM? I've found a few forums that seem to have a post every other month. There's a developers' mailing list, but I don't see one for end users. I got into QEMU-KVM "appliances" by accident... - old PC started dying on me - I backed up the data to an even older PC, and got a shiny new one, with 8 gigs of ram, wheeeeeeee - I installed pure 64-bit Gentoo *WITHOUT* 32-bit support - and discovered that WINE will not install on a system without 32-bit support (that's my version of "oops programing"; nothing to do with object orientation) - I play around a lot with 4NEC2, a Windows-only antenna modelling app that runs nicely under WINE - to avoid a wipe and re-install on my main system, I created a small 32-bit Gentoo guest inside QEMU-KVM, which allowed me to install WINE and 4NEC2 I did have to do quite a bit of trial-and-error before I got the thing working, and I'll probably re-do, so I can do it right this time. An active QEMU-KVM mailing list or forum would be helpful. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
