<br>
Virt-manager rocks for a single host or very small number of hosts. Found I could run it on my laptop and connect to and manage VMs on my home server (i.e., ale).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On April 6, 2018 1:45:52 PM EDT, DJ-Pfulio via Ale <ale@ale.org> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
