So how does that > make qemu on Linux more difficult to use than on OS X? virt-manager is designed to be cross-platform compatible, and it IS ported to Windows. If the port to Mac OS doesn't already work out of the box, then I'm sure the virt-manager community would love patches. And THAT is the gui app of choice for dealing with VMs in a cross-platform manager, since virt-manager IS a gui. But this is not the virt-manager mailing list. Here, in the lower-level qemu, we focus on providing the machine-friendly knobs, so that higher-level apps like libvirt, and on top of that virt-manager, can expose a nice gui that uses those knobs. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --nlKIdX9dBux6Lesvonp2R4p38rAKq6TOd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJV4jvZAAoJEKeha0olJ0NquJEIAIwyj1qPBsioe6UvOe4r7HCm 2QmwfsCiT5nsAL9+qFnaNjD0Fq2+BUK4+1ResHuM8zz/tKwpA1hxNUYj4j/B4B+m JzLlpqOwFwFjhATUJgnlZJiXK4+juM08CIDtj4u46n2sETrtRBk1Oy71gmW2nAUE NG8d9RSmLCxfGxM6JcqE7D9YN27M5g8BAx/piJhZcm406bs/jP3yf9EnGl8gILcL 4aASqv0PmsubosLua3Wa4+rN/4jy0uSqRtfBToKYBFwyZ+dltOECFSMPk2ZB4C6p ClDEj7LgxjIfLwQGC3fx38zNc/JtVVRKF524v8PjADv0gLWWvuPruk954zYmocc= =PblZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nlKIdX9dBux6Lesvonp2R4p38rAKq6TOd--
