http://virt-manager.org/

Provides a VMware-Player or VirtualBox-like GUI to control multiple KVM, Xen,
LXC, QEMU, virtualbox, and ESXi servers from a consistent interface through SSH.
Perfect for small shops with less than 50 VMs.

Based on the awesome libvirt project.

# yum install virt-manager (Fedora)
# apt-get install virt-manager (Debian)
# emerge virt-manager (Gentoo)

Anyway - very easy. No CLI needed after installation.  The only thing I manually
setup is the Linux bridge.

I run a Windows7 Media Center inside a KVM-vm controlled by virt-manager to
record OTA TV with upto 4 concurrent recordings. Performance is good.

April 10th. ALE-NW.
