I'm not sure that's correct. (That it's the easiest). Recently, the talk about going for an RHSCA made me look into KVM for the first time in awhile. I had to google a bit to get it working--not horribly difficult (would have been easier save for typing Bridge instead of BRIDGE in a config file, looking at it at least 10 times and not figuring out the error, but..). I think VBox is more intuitive to the newcomer, though if the OP is wondering about this for one of the tests, then KVM is definitely the way to go. > > > > If you want virtualization only, then KVM and virt-install is going to > > be the way to script an automated install: > > > > https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/index.html > > I'm going to mention another link that I found useful http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/KVM_Virtualization_in_RHEL_6_made_easy.pdf Not for using it with a kickstart, but as a quick KVM setup.
