You can add directories to the storage, including ones in your home directory.
Generic is actually the default option, all you have to do is to disable auto-detection.
It's fine to run qemu directly, but virt-manager ain't bad.
Right. It says select tiles with cars, bikes or buses and I fail because I recognized one far away. Traffic lights and stairs, if a tile has just a tiny bit of the thing, does that count? I don't think they train on this, they've got their answers and they just want people to feel dumb, I guess.
I, for one, wouldn't care if Kanye West or his aunt or her neigbours dog came up with a good encryption algo. If it's good, it's good no matter who wrote it. Appeals to authority or the lack thereof draws attention away from the technical debate.
Of course, you can use pretty much any OS as a bootstrap loader for pretty much anything. There has been a loadlin.exe for example, it would load and run a Linux kernel. A gratis variant of BeOS also loaded from DOS iirc.
It just occurred to me that there shouldn't be any cronjobs / scheduled tasks or a disabled cron daemon / task scheduler in the virtual machines. That's because when the vm wakes up an ever increasing number of days later, it could run all sorts of scheduled maintenance jobs.
For a CI, my best bet would be to save a running snapshot of each OS to test and derive a new instance from there for every job. Also isolate the network bridge from the outside world. The only thing you may have to fix is time synchronization, but your vmm could already be taking care of that.
