Yes, virtualization.

I actually thought grub had been removed, so I removed the dependency
on it in libguestfs.  However libguestfs certainly *could* use grub,
if it was available.  There's some heated discussion of this here:

and also in the archives of the current mailing list.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
