Now a few screendumps:
Fedore Core 8:
What i particularly like very much, is the ability to keep 1 VM from taking all available CPU:
Power usage of the current hardware: 65-70W.
I will change the videocard to get some reduction on that, but also add some more drives and an extra NIC. So usage will get a bit higher by that.
Getting your physical machines virtual is not an easy job BTW, for as far as i can tell (the host is only 24 hours young). Nevertheless, i really like what i see so far.
