This HOWTO describes how to setup Debian-based VMs (guests) on a CentOS 5.5 which has KVM virtualization enabled. Sometimes it's not possible to use Debian as the host operating system in virtualization. Note: I edited the post so it be a little less messy, cause I realized it kind of looked like that Hope I made it more readable this time.Setting up a Debian-based KVM guests with virtio-based disk and network on CentOS 5.5 hosts I've created VMs with CentOS core, Slackware and of course Arch and built the system up from the ground but always installed some DE, for a few years now xfce has become my DE of choice, so what I'm asking is, besides basic tools, what other command line tools would you recommend for this set up? For example, I wanted to install guess addtions but when cliked on 'insert guess additions iso' nothing happens it doesn't show up in run, media or mnt.

I use Arch with xfce and awesome-wm as my main drive but realized have never been without a DE. This is the first time I do this and I'm really not sure what other packages I need. I installed Links instead of Firefox or Chromium, ranger instead of thunar or nautilus. My goal with this VM is to build a system with very few GUI programs, i.e.

iso, which I have before, only this time decided to use awesome window manager instead of any other DE.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! One of my computing hobbies is creating VMs (virtual machines) with virtualbox and/or qemu, this time I created one and installed Debian Stretch using the netinst.

Debian netinstall iso
