Ok, here is a comparison for you. Here are two screenshots of the same xen dom0 host. One is a screenshot of a ssh session running xm top. The other is virt-manager showing the same stuff, or much less information I should say, while taking up more screen space ;) 1429x215 http://jaxlug.org/images/ssh_xen_top.png 900x358 http://jaxlug.org/images/Screenshot-Virtual%20Machine%20Manager.png Now I could have shrunk the width in the last one. Its the difference of height and more importantly information being displayed on screen. virt-manager does not show anywhere near the amount of info that xm top does. Also via the terminal, ssh, xm top route. I could view many more vms on screen at one time than I could via virt-manager. P.S. I did not upload these through the wiki, would take to long, sftp to the rescue. Once again command line vs gui :) -- William L.
