I'd say that unless there's a feature in kvm-85 you care about, you're better sticking with 0.10.x. Of course, if you'd like to help test future kvm release, kvm-XX releases are a great way to help out. > 2) Official Qemu 0.10.4 with the KVM kernel module. > Officially, the QEMU 0.10.x series only has "experimental" KVM support. It's not as complete as what's found in linux-kvm.org. If you're bleeding edge and really want to help out, this is a great place to do testing. > 3) The Qemu KVM 0.10.4 listed on the KVM site. > For now, this is probably the best thing to look at if you don't fit into any of the above categories.
