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 […]
