No, you can add the virt-preview repo which should get you the f18
packages. Sorry don't have the URL handy right now. If you can't find
let know and I'll post it.
Yes, virt-preview would work with f18, but that feature is only
available in the 3.3 release (coming very soon). 3.3 will run on Fedora
19 hosts.

3.2 doesn't know about libgfapi, you'll need to do the lowlevel
gluster stuff yourself, I think.
Right, for 3.2, you need to use POSIXFS for gluster. native gluster
domains are added in 3.3.
