About Linux-KVM
The page provides installation guidance for KVM. It recommends using KVM kernel modules and userspace tools from Linux distribution packaging systems, noting the tools are usually called "qemu-kvm" or "kvm", Linux guest drivers are in the Linux kernel package, and Windows guest drivers are linked separately.
It also points to SourceForge for specific older kernel and userspace versions, with changelogs per release, and lists minimum kernel versions for different releases. It notes that kvm-NN releases are deprecated and that some features require newer kernels or userspace.
