This includes questions +about a specifically packaged version of QEMU. The QEMU developers are +generally concerned with the latest release and the current state of +the [master branch](https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git) and do not +provide support for QEMU binaries shipped by Linux distributions. + +Questions about complex configurations of networking and storage are +usually met with a recommendation to use management tools like +[virt-manager](https://virt-manager.org/) from the [libvirt +project](https://libvirt.org/) to configure and run QEMU. Management +tools handle the low-level details of setting up devices that most +users should not need to learn. + +* There is a +[qemu-discuss@nongnu.org](https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-discuss) +mailing list for user focused questions
+If your question is more technical or architecture specific you may +want to send your question to another of [QEMU's mailing +lists](https://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists) + +* A lot of developers hang around on IRC (network: irc.oftc.net, +channel #qemu)
QEMU developers tend to hold normal office hours +and are distributed around the world. Please be patient as you may +have to wait some time for a response. If you can't leave IRC open and +wait you may be better served by a mailing list. + +* If you think you have found a bug you can report it on [our bug + tracker](https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/)
