With "virt-manager" [1] GUI app it is simple to manage guests and virtual network, at least for x86_64 architecture it is working great.

I even run weather station software 24/7 in a VM.
You can pass usb ports through to the vm ... like in updating Garmin GPS in Windows. The networking is taken care of by virt-manager. You can use NAT (for a private address in the 192.168.x.x range) or direct connection through the host ethernet port to my LAN in the 172.16.x.x range. virt-manager will even connect to a remote machine (over the LAN with ssh tunnel) to run VMs on that machine just as if they were on the local host. Each VM has its own window on the host (I use kde) where you can run text or graphical interfaces with mouse and keyboard support ... even VMs on remote host.

Thanks for the replys. I just needed to pay more attention to the
virt-manager capabilities. RTFM as usual. The connection works
fine now.
Thanks again
