Virtual Machine Manager provides a graphical tool for administering virtual
machines for <code>KVM</code>, <code>Xen</code>, and <code>QEmu</code>. Start, stop, add or remove virtual devices,
connect to a graphical or serial console, and see resource usage statistics
for existing VMs on local or remote machines. Uses {{package|libvirt}} as the backend
management API.
 
'''New features:'''
* Redesigned 'New Virtual Machine' wizard (Jeremy Perry, Tim Allen, Cole Robinson)
* Option to remove storage when deleting a virtual machine.
* File browser for libvirt storage pools and volumes, for use when attaching storage to a new or existing guest.
* Physical device assignment (PCI, USB) for existing virtual machines.
* Bug fixes and minor improvements.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
