From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like arsecroft says, virt manager has this ability built into the application itself. You add another session to the ui and choose ssh. No X forwarding needed, no gui needed on the server at all, don't need the virt manager app on the server just the client. Cockpit also works as a web based ui.
Oh that's good to know. I've got roughly the same VNC setup with virt-manager, so I'll have to try it out. I would get rid of this VM if I could, but it runs CI for my Windows builds. Since I daily Linux now, it's the only way I'll know if I break MSVC.
NICE! i didn't catch that part and thank you for making me aware.
i did try cockpit and i had better luck with it too.
If you give it a shot make sure you use an ssh key, it doesn't like passwords.
the server itself died a little while ago so it's going to be while before it try and i planned on using cli only to manage the vm's and the sdn's; but i'll give this a try before doing that.
Hopefully the rebuild goes well!
