Good! That's the attitude!

No problem :)

Yes. That means you have two AMD cores with hardware virtualization
support as known as AMD-V (Pacifica). It's a good start. But sometimes
it is not enough. So it is advisable check out in the BIOS that
virtualization is enabled.

Here [1] you can see an example, although in that case it is for Intel
processors. It may also be the case where the BIOS does not have
something that allows enable or disable support.

If you're using a desktop computer you may want to install Virt-Manager
[2], that provides an interface similar to the VMWare player:

# aptitude install virt-manager

Some time ago I read a very interesting book (at least for me) called
"Metamanagement" (written by Fred Kofman) where the author spoke of this
beautiful greeting used in Nepal and how he was marveled for their
meaning. Something like "I see the divine light that shines from your
soul" or "I recognize in you the essence that I am" or "I salute you as
one in which you and I are one".


Best regards,
