If you wanted a one-liner

sudo dnf group install --with-optional virtualization -y && systemctl start libvirtd && systemctl enable libvirtd

sudo dnf -y install virt-manager

That's not the guest utils etc, just one piece of the pie.

why don't you build a guide.

That one command is his whole guide. Just run the command, you have a KVM system.
sudo dnf install @virtualization -y

That 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 there

Did 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.
