 From the KVM site (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools) that 
has a RedHat logo, there is a list of management interfaces, including 
VMM (Virtual Machine Manager -- https://virt-manager.org/screenshots/ ) 
that also appears to be a Red Hat entity.  Anyone using VMM?  VMM 
appears to allow a true host OS (supervisor, not hypervisor) with the VM 
("hypervisor") running under the OS (as with VMWare workstation/player 
or VirtualBox), thus booting an OS, not a hypervisor that actually 
provisions for guest supervisors.  Is this correct?
