Spare box is sitting idle. I7 32GB RAM. Which flavor should I run
-
I realize that there's quite the Fedora following here. I'm fine with that. I'm going to load up a distro and tryout KVM. Is Fedora the odds on favorite for a try at this?

I'm fond of Fedora, yes.
Just don't use Ubuntu, unless you're a masochist.

Sounds good. I pulled down the ISO for server. I'm going to load something this weekend. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something going by next weekend.

You don’t have to use Fedora just because some of us prefers it.

I get that. I've tried CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian and Mandrake. Thought I'd try the latest IT darling. I'm nowhere near good with Linux. I need to practice with something that I can get a lot of examples of, like those here.

For testing KVM, yeah I'd definitely do Fedora.

@scotth My workstation at work is kvm with fedora under it. I use windows 10 and opensuse vm's under it through virtual machine manager. It works very smooth and never had a bit of trouble.

I never tried OpenSuse. After I get this going, I'm going to setup Hyper-V on my brother's server. I may give it a go. He's running Kodi on Windows which works fine. I want to setup a Kodi only box and feed it out. I'm doing this at home on XCP-ng and it works great. I use the Emby addon and it streams beautiful to anything in the house no matter the original resolution.
