Virtual WorkStation (or Vitus Wagner's Spice) is set of script wrappers to QEMU/KVM intened to use on notebooks or developer's workstations, where few virtual machines exist, these machines are seldom created and guest OS configurations are carefully tuned.

<h2>Main objectives:</h2>
  *  Virtual machines should be kept as isolated as possible. One should be able to easily move them around, even to the hosts wbere no VWS installed.
  *  Most virtual machines are workstations, which means you need GUI, sound, USB devices etc on them.
  *  Networking is fully controlled by user.
  *  Use of our scripts shouldn't prevent users from operating directly with QEMU command line and monitor.
  *  Script layer should be as thin as possible, readable and understandable by almost anyoune
  *  No new hairy formats should be invented, just a [Concepts|simple conventions] how to store VMs in filesystem to make in operable by scripts and how to put options into shell scripts to make them editable by wizard-like interface
  *  No attempt to support every virtualization technology out there. Concentrate on QEMU and do our best with it.

<h2>Current state</h2>

Now project reached stage, where [simple scripts] can be easily installed and manage collection of dozens of virtual machines.

For more than year it is used to maintain build farm for one big crossplatform project.

See [Concepts] for whole picture how to use it.
