Anything other than just avoiding unnecessary duplication?

I will admit to not being terribly familiar with Spice, but the two things that kept me from considering it a completely useful solution were a.) It seems that it is only a solution for virtual machines (ie, running under kvm. We need a solution that would work with "bare metal", lxc or inside of an EC2 instance (xen guest where Amazon controls the host). b.) it seems more focused on "virtual desktop" than "remote desktop". By that I mean more "low latency, high bandwidth network", than "high bandwidth [relatively] high latency". I could be wrong on either of those points, and obviously work could be done to address them. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
