KVM有P2V工具么?

[wanzg]

感觉磁盘的性能还是这样啊！还是77版最好用了！

[sw2wolf]

正在用， 但没感觉到与79有何不提高 ！
另外， rdesktop与vncviewer哪 个好用些啊？ 有何不同啊要？

[chengzh]

我感觉rdesktop不太好用，经常感觉因为网络的问题而出现停顿，也许配置没配好。
我还是用vnc多些。

你用的是哪个vnc viewer啊！我这用rdesktop还不错 !!!

这个版本的nat模式有bug，网卡不能用，79没有问题，不过79的声卡如果编译成支持alsa则存在不稳定情况(guest在一个小时内必定crash)
我的环境是：
host: ubuntu 810 (2.6.27-10) X86_64
GUEST: WINXP

多谢测试，我还没有装呢。
kvm稳定性就是要差点，反正总有点小bug

vncviewer的颜色深度好像只有16位，很不爽
