   Read up on virt-manager and QEMU/KVM.   
      
   Why did I copy it? I downloaded the iso at the library onto a 11" netbook   
   because that is convenient to carry around. With 4GB of RAM it isn't   
   exactly a good choice for a VM. I could have transferred it to the target   
   machine with sftp, but if I put it on a thumb drive it was one and done if   
   I wanted to install a VM on one of the other boxes.
