by guest utils you mean the libguestfs-tools?
That's the step before installing the virt-manager

That one command is his whole guide. Just run the command, you have a KVM system.
sudo dnf install @virtualization -y -
@scottalanmiller and if you needed/wanted additional tools, you could run the longer version which I linked too.

Doesn't matter, if your hardware doesn't support virtualization, you're dead in the water anyways.

The additional tools are really nice though, being able to mount and browse a file system of a guest without having to go into the guest. . . ahhh I'm drooling.
File recovery anyone?

Are you using a computer from 2004? Otherwise, you should be good

Besides going to the BIOS to confirm if Virtualization is enabled.
Use this commandegrep -c '(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfoYou want the output to not show 0.

sudo dnf install @virtualization -yThat is not a guide. It is a single command with no reasoning behind what it is or why it is or how to then use KVM after running it.

Back to the OP.
@WrCombs wants to things most likely...
a desktop environment to run in - So Fedora or Ubuntu most likely... and then a separate "server" box to install Linux Server OSes on to experiment with to do things like - setup FreePBX, setup NC, setup file server, etc.
yes.
I could even VM those, right? or no? - Forgive the newbness, but I'm thinking a Desktop and then run a VM Boxes with server OS's to do what @Dashrender is saying and thoughts on which ones to try.Boxes is weird, but yes. Throw Fedora or Ubuntu onto a laptop or desktop, install KVM, and virtualize anything that you want. You get a fully functional, and gorgeous desktop environment, but can test any server OS or alternative desktop OS that you like.
sounds like the likely chose..
I know they're out there; anyone got the link for the guides?for installing KVM ;
I'll start another list of projects that I'm going to work on and go from thereDid I not have a guide here on ML?
For KVM on Fedora? Don't recall one.
Apparently not. I just did some searching, and it is mostly posts and screenshots of the various things in other people's threads.
