It does support USB and PCI device passthrough. I'm not sure where this stuff about VirtualBox being more "user-friendly" comes from. Maybe I'm not the average user, but there are things I can do with libvirt in Fedora that make it very user friendly, but I don't think the same level of control is available in VirtualBox, so I would rate it as less user-friendly for me. e.g. I have some RHEL and CentOS VMs, they're for development. I don't run them all the time, they don't have a GUI. If I want them on, I can do: # virsh start RHEL1 # virsh console RHEL1 <do whatever I need> # virsh shutdown RHEL1 My advice would be to try using Virt-Manager in Fedora (providing you have recent hardware) and see how you get on. It really really isn't that difficult. If it's not working for you, then investigate VirtualBox or even VMWare Player. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
