If you are using hardware virtualization support, I recommend using KVM. Linux packages in Debian have already compiled the support for KVM. You only need to install the user-space tool to manage virtual machines. # aptitude install qemu-kvm To find out if your processor supports virtualization extensions: # egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo You should also check that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. > Namaste, Nice greeting. Namaste also for you :) Daniel
