Mmm... Okay, so I suppose to have a GUI to play around with the DomU, it's
always making use of 3rd party application...
There's one thing that have been puzzling me for the past few days... Xen is
using QEMU, within the source it have something that emulates the user
interface, and interrupt handling... Won't there thus be something like
VMware provides? Why are we still using those 3rd party application?
