I have the following guests: RHEL 6 - guest agent from EPEL CentOS 6 - guest agent from EPEL RHEL 5 - guest agent from RHEL repositories Fedora 20 - guest agent from Fedora repository Solaris 10 - no guest agent Solaris 11 - no guest agent Ubuntu 12.04 - guest agent from launchpad Debian 7 - guest agent from launchpad (Ubuntu Precise) I don't have openSUSE running on my new setup anymore, but guest agent from build.opensuse.org did work fine. SLES 11 didn't work. Regards, René > > We may want to update the wiki with the list you have. > > Thanks, > Doron >
