oVirt is definitely not intended to be run on your notebook, and running something oriented toward powering whole data centers on a single, portable machine seems like overkill, anyway. For a Linux-powered notebook machine like mine, virt-manager is a great tool for spinning up all manner of VMs, and–while I’ve yet to get it running properly — GNOME Boxes offers another promising option for taking advantage of the KVM hypervisor that’s built into the Linux kernel. However, since immersing myself in oVirt…

Last week, when I was getting to the “here’s where you access your shiny new oVirt-hosted VM” portion of my super duper Up and Running with oVirt howto, I was a bit embarrassed to say that you needed Fedora to access oVirt’s console-launching automagic. oVirt uses the spice protocol for delivering virtual desktop sessions, and while spice client packages are available for Ubuntu and for openSUSE, I wasn’t able to find any up-to-date packages to provide the Firefox plugin, spice-xpi, that…

NOTE: The most recent version of this howto, for oVirt 4.1, lives HERE. As a fan both of x86 virtualization and of open source software, I long wondered when the “Linux of virtualization” would emerge. Maybe I should say instead, the GNU/Linux of virtualization, because I’m talking about more than just a kernel for virtualization — we’ve had those for a while now, in the forms of Xen and of KVM. Rather, I’ve been looking for the virtualization project that’ll…

Last month, I started work at Red Hat–a big career shift after spending 12 years in tech journalism in the Labs department at eWEEK magazine. Turning in one’s press badge for a set of company credentials is a bit like embracing The Dark Side. I do love a good heel turn, but I must say that working for a company that gives away what it produces dissolves some of that drama and robs me of figurative steel chair shot opportunities. I’m…

I started in on this course, via podcast, today during my bus ride. Introduction to Theory of Literature with Professor Paul H. Fry About the Course This is a survey of the main trends in twentieth-century literary theory. Lectures will provide background for the readings and explicate them where appropriate, while attempting to develop a coherent overall context that incorporates philosophical and social perspectives on the recurrent questions: what is literature, how is it produced, how can it be understood,…

Hmm, the personal PlusFeed instance that pumps my G+ posts into Twitter has broken down somehow. Maybe it’s time to wrap up the G+ to Twitter via Talend project I’ve been fiddling with. It’s currently stalled at, “once I get things set up just right…”

I read that Red Hat’s OpenShift now supports custom domain names, so I thought I’d give the service’s WordPress Example a go. Getting my blog set up here was crazily simple to do…

Welcome to the first non-lorem ipsum post on this, my non-work blog, where many of the things I might write about on my work blog, but don’t, because they seem way too navel-gazy, I may end up writing about here. One such thing: the ongoing (sort of) battle between different Linux distributions on my work notebook. I used to jump around a lot between different desktop OSes: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, BeOS, SuSE Linux, Red Hat Linux,…
