and no emacs. . . wtf  I guess a text editor turns a machine into a
"workstation", I'm not entertained by having to rebuild me own emacs rpms
just so I can edit files on the desktops we support.  Sorry I'm just
ranting, yes I know vi, its just a thing.

 I'm unclear about the licencing on guests here.  I assume that each guest
also needs to be licenced as well?

Basic + both.
