</div>Personally I'd rather not provide login accounts to my VM<br>
administrators. I would much rather provide them a web interface.<br>
KVM is a potential option; I need to explore the possibilities.<br>
That means I need to find the time to set up a test environment. :)<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Look into ProxMox - it uses KVM and has a good web interface. I am using it on a test server set-up, and I am prepared to open it up to our internal software developers for test machines. It takes regular ISO installs and OpenVZ containers. This is good because OpenVZ containers use almost no resources just to run. VMs reserve a lot of resources, but OpenVZ containers reserve no resources. For capacity-planning purposes, you can probably overbook resources by 10x when using OpenVZ-style virtual machines. A caveat: my test server-farm are low-traffic, low transaction level at the moment.<br>
<br>Wolf<br>The only issue I have found is that it appears to need root access, but someone on the list could correct me (please, thank you).<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>This Apt Has Super Cow Powers - <a href="http://sourcefreedom.com" target="_blank">http://sourcefreedom.com</a><br>
