Hey guys,
I've spent the past couple of weeks getting myself familiar with Oracle's VirtualBox platform - I really needed to learn how to configure a dedicated server & to use phpVirtualBox as well, and I do like using it though I feel it's time to test out another virtualization platform.
Currently planning on testing out a new virtual platform on an Ubuntu 14.04 Host server, and I'm looking at installing KVM. What I'm wondering is if any of you other members have some input/advice about using KVM. Like, should I stick with straight up command line (CLI) or is there an open-source GUI/web-based application that you like using with KVM? Are there some things you find buggy with KVM? Will I be able to support every functionality of KVM by using open-sourced applications or will there come a point that I'll need to purchase an application just to get some things working?
Thanks in advanced guys!
