I have been looking into XEN lately and someone has developed a GUI-Frontend for it. Here's the link below showing images for the GUI interface to manage xen. A similar type GUI interface could be done for QEMU. I wonder want programming tool used for it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xenman/ http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=168929 http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=168929&ssid=35194 http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=168929&ssid=35193 http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=168929&ssid=35191 http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=168929&ssid=35190 Kevin F.
