KVM is a virtualization engine, like VirtualBox or VMWare.
I am testing it on Dart, a server that runs Centos 6.5
I needed to be able to run Ubuntu to test out BigBlueButton. (It seemed the easiest path at the moment.)
Set up
Installed packages via yum
Use
Create a new virtual machine, then start it.
mkdir /var/kvm cd /var/kvm qemu-img create -f qcow2 bigbluebutton.img 10G /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda bigbluebutton.img -cdrom ~/ubuntu-13.10-server-i386.iso -boot d -m 2048 -vnc :0
Now connect via VNC client. On a Mac, I downloaded Vine VNC Client. It made me jump through hoops. I hope not to have to use it again.
