Thanks very much Hans, Georgi, Darac and Teemu for the comprehensive,
and super-quick help! This list rocks!
Sounds like the only thing that's less-than-perfect is the shared
folders with the host, but I'll look into KVM / QEMU's documentation for
what's possible for that. A Samba server feels sub-optimal to me (bad
experiences with Samba at work, albeit I don't need a lot of speed for
this use case here) but if that's the best option there is, it's doable.
Everything else looks perfect. Thanks Darac in particular for the
step-by-step instructions on migrating the disks, and Teemu for pointing
out I will need to get the new machines as close in spec as possible to
the old ones so Windows doesn't barf. (Guests are Windows 7)
Much appreciated guys
Mark
