Some of these details are already touched upon in LPI 304. Although I would love to see conversations of bringing these down to lower levels for junior admins, what day-to-day tasks might be involved. > Nothing more annoying than getting 20 pop-up login boxes in virt-manager. Virt-Manager is kinda akin to VMware Player. It's a basic, minimal solution. <Off-Topic/Non-LPI Related> oVirt is a backend/front-end to libvirt, including Web-based administration console and full Virtualized Desktop Infractructure (VDI) for managing SPICE. oVirt, like libvirt, was originally designed to be HyperVisor agnostic, so there was no reason it couldn't support Xen or ESX. But because their commercial stacks, XenServer and vSphere, respectively, are huge, commercial cash cows, Citrix and VMware never supported further development of oVirt for their HyperVisors. So oVirt has become largely KVM/SPICE-only. Commercially it is supported as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), RHEV-H being the equivalent to ESXi, and RHEV-M being the equivalent to vSphere. </Off-Topic> - bjs > On 24/10/2017 08:36, Ingo Wichmann wrote: >> Hi there, >> >> I think we should think again, what todays junior sysadmin should know >> about Linux graphical interfaces.
