I didn't try really hard but VB on Mint didn't go smoothly even after blacklisting the kvm module. It bitched about dependencies that looked like they would conflict with installed packages. No need when 'apt install virt-manager' goes smoothly. > For the record, do NOT think it's a great idea to VM one machine into > 10.

I had a long discussion with one of our senior implementation people. Mirroring a VM to another VM on the same box doesn't cover your ass very well. We used VMs for testing in house. The discussions could get heated if someone shutdown a VM they didn't think anyone was using to fire up another one. > Just this week I tested OpenSUSE.

I skimped with MX and gave it 20 GB. It used 11 G, which is okay for my purposed. I also gave it 8 GB of RAM and so far it's used under 1 GB. Not bad.
