[ale] Virtual Manager

[Jim Kinney]

Yeah. That's the stock VM manager for desktops in RHEL/Fedora. Really nice.

If you get the spice extensions for windows clients, it really make a win7

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
