It looks like there are solutions for converting VMWare disk images to KVM (Qemu) disk images. Few (untested) links: 1. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/01/06/examine-vmware-esx-with-libguestfs/ [but this is for ESX, so may be irrelevant to you] 2. http://kevinverma.blogspot.com/2007/11/convert-vmware-images-for-qemu- etc.html [a comment suggests that convertion isn't needed anymore] 3. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=223522 If you can test it briefly and see that it work, than at least you are not trapped. You may start using VMWare today and wait until missing features are added to KVM. At least the DISPLAY part should move quickly since Red Hat has significant investment in this: http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/rhev-spice-guest-drivers-released-windows Bye, -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 [email protected] http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron "write your own operating system.
