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.
