bahua129156yAlso, I'm aware that WebEx works for Linux, but I'm not giving my machine chlamydia(ie: installing java).
Also, since it really tries to take over the computer, I prefer it contained inside a windowed VNC session that I can minimize or close when I'm done with it. -

Because I also need a system that can legitimately connect to the VPN at work, in case my reverse tunnel goes down. Didn't see much need for two VMs for that purpose. -
endor57586yInteresting setup!
How much of a pain in the ass is working with KVM? I'm thinking of picking it up for a little project I have in mind, but I wanna be sure it's worth the trouble -

The first time took some hassle, as I wasn't super competent with networking back then. Times since then have been simpler. There's a great graphical frontend called virt-manager that you can use to set everything up. The really granular stuff though is in the commands.

I use qemu/KVM on Linux. I love being able to do basically all VM operations with commands. So when I need to use my Windows VM(ie: connect to a WebEx), I pop it on with an integration I wrote for my keyboard launcher(mutate), or just execute an alias over SSH, and connect via VNC. When I'm done, I just shit it down. At this point, Windows has been reduced to just a windowed program that I run.
