Thanks. I find Xen easy to set up as well. For the same reason (done it several times). What I really need is a VM server with a decent frontend (multiplatform and where I can specify which user can access which VM and have some restrictions on network settings for new VMs) And where I can specify fast (SSD) stprage for the memory snapshots and normal (Spinning) storage for the disks (Using LVM or ZFS snapshots) I might end up writing my own frontend, but libvirt would then be a usefull API. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
