Whatever. I like libvirt and virsh and would like to see them exposed more in the LPIC-304 exam. However, FWIW, if all you want is a CentOS virtual machine on your Debian box to check out RPM then VirtualBox is very probably the easiest way to go. It may not be 100% ideologically pure but it works well and takes only three minutes to set up – which gives people that much more time to check out RPM. When I have only a few days to take people through the LPIC-1 material, that sort of thing counts. If you'd rather be ideologically pure and don't mind spending more time setting up libvirt *and* something that will do the actual virtualisation instead of doing what you originally set out to do (like checking out RPM) then I don't have an issue with that. It is probably interesting and you will very likely learn *something* for life. More power to you. In any event I think that virtualisation as such is best left in LPIC-304 rather than shoehorned (with all the best of intentions, of course) into LPIC-1/2. I don't see much point in dragging individual bits and pieces into the lower exams that will just lead to more of those endless cans of worms of which we have quite enough already. That includes libvirt and virsh. Anselm -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
