Hi, |

if you are not afraid of the command line I would recommend KVM. I use |
| 4 |
it for my virtualization needs. When you don't want the sdl window you |
| 5 |
may use the -vnc switch. -daemonize switch is great for running in the |
| 6 |
backgroud. the -balloon switch is great for memory savings, I |
| 7 |
recommend KSM in your kernel also. |
