All the users in Mauguio, Lancaster and Cambridge are now all using Zimbra... We have made good progress in Oxford as well - the move should be finished soon! Was a lot of hard work and literally millions of emails to transfer, but we're nearly there :)

It's hot, it's new, it's the french website! Right no it's not completely ready yet, but nearly :)

You can follow the development at the following address: http://fr-dev.thehumanjourney.net/. At this stage, we would be very pleased with some feedback, either with the design, or the content for the one of you who speak french!

It seems I am not the first one to have troubles setting up a windows XP KVM guest. The main problem seems to be that it just won't install using acceleration; on the other hand, it works fine without (qemu mode). Here is a command line that works to boot from an ISO file to install windows XP:

Then install windows using your favourite VNC client:

Once the setup is finished, the VM will be defined as non accelerated; it will be using qemu instead of KVM, and will run much slower. Edit the file /etc/libvirt/qemu/xpsp2.xml , and set <emulator> to /usr/bin/kvm instead of /usr/bin/qemu.

Now you just need to redefine the VM and to start it:

sudo virsh
define xpsp2.xml
start xpsp2

Your windows VM is now accelerated :)
