Xubuntu on Kubuntu via QEMU

This is actually the first time I've tried to virtualize anything. I've been wanting to virtualize any OS before but I just didn't find any use for it and it'll only waste my time. But now that I'm involved with my Xubuntu Initiative, I decided to try QEMU. QEMU isn't actually my first choice, Xen is but QEMU comes highly recommended. I'll also try VirtualBox and Xen soon.

Well, here it is... Xubuntu running on top of QEMU.

And just in case you're wondering, I've also installed qemu-launcher so I wouldn't have to type in long commands to create QCOW images or launch sessions.
