installing KVM, because Scott says it's so easy.
Installing it is easy, getting everything else setup once it's "running" that you generally need to have a complete system is what takes time and planning.

Just Got back to the office after a 3 hour install - Get to go babysit my system tonight for the length of a show - Im soooo excited. - . -

"Generally" need is where we get into very different opinions. For us, we generally need very little else as our customers generally have agent based backups or scripted backups and so no backup discussion or configuration is needed.
For our SMB clients, it's rare that much is needed beyond a basic install and then the VM installs.

Searching for Christmas presents for the kids. Looking at some kind of Android tablet or Chromebook (has to be able to run Android apps) that will last for a couple of years at least. Considering this one.

What are your thoughts on it? Tough enough for 5 & 8 year old kids?

@NerdyDad you need to get the one with the stylus so they have something to poke their eye out with.

I LOVE my Asus Chromebook. If it ran Android apps too, I'd be in heaven.

That's one of the reasons why I'm considering ASUS, along with Dell, HP, and Samsung. You like yours so much. Plus, I had a mobo of theirs back in the early '00s and ran great for its time.
The one I linked claims to be able to run Android apps. Another factor of looking at this one.

@JeremyRichardson has an Asus too that he loves.

My aunt, @JeremyRichardson's mum, just got an Acer Chromebook that she has been liking.

@RestoronixSean picked up a Samsung Chromebook a few weeks ago, too.

I had a Samsung Tab A and the damn wifi in it stopped working.
Pretty useless at that point. . .

The past few Acer's that family members and I have had have seemed of lesser quality in comparison to the standards (Dell, HP, Samsung). Not as cheap as 3rd party knock-offs or eMachines, but not as good as the standards.

Depends. What does it mean by "supports" Android apps? Does it mean full on browser the Android / Google app store and download/install anything you can get on Android easily through there?

Not mine, unless you can get a nice bulky bouncy case for it.
