they are not the easiest to figure out how the hell to make them useful

You actually have a specific complaint, or are you just spreading FUD? These tools are currently used by large partner companies of Red Hat, who obviously find them useful otherwise they wouldn't continue to use them.

No, this is not FUD. I really love all the ET stuff Red Hat is working on, but when I put on
my "busy sysadmin" hat, I realized I got really lost trying to figure out a) where to start b)
was the pain of setup worth the reward.

I'd really like to find out what issues you were having. (Email me, r j o n e s (at) r e d h a t dot c o m)

I'm working on a set of command line tools for administrators of small-scale virtual machine deployments, so you can type commands such as virt-df to get a 'df'-style listing of the disks of all your virtual machines, or virt-ps to get process listings from all of them.

You could also start with the list of links at the bottom of this page: http://virt-manager.org/. However it's not intended that you should need to compile everything from source, unless you want to join in with development. Everything either is or will be in Fedora, and the good bits should eventually make it into RHEL.
