Good details…

I am trying to find a KVM forum of users to help as I dig more into maintaining VMs under KVM.

I have a posting about how to duplicate what GUI is doing into CLI on network. The man pages and other sites talk a lot , but NO Examples :frowning:

I have posting on CentOS forum but …if their is another forum that has more KVM focus that someone can point me to that would also help as this is a bit too specific for general Linux forum.
