Re: [orca-list] Virt-manager

You were abundantly clear, pal.  I gave you something I knew worked with KVM but wasn't sure how accessible 
it was.  Next time, do a google search to see if you are about to make an ass out of yourself before 
responding so rudely to someone who took time out of their schedule to try and help you out.  Here's a link:

Clear enough for ya?

I did an apt-cache search for kvm and came up with many items.  The package you mention was not among them.  
Therefore, I don't think it supports KVM. 
This is assuming it's packaged in Ubuntu MATE.  I don't know what was not clear about my post, but I 
specifically was asking about KVM support.  As it turns out, virt-manager is very accessible and is developed 
by Red Hat.
