STEP 0. Install debian
By default hard disk images stored by libvirt in /var/lib/libvirt/images,
so you may want to create big separate partition for
either /var/lib/libvirt or /srv, or /srv/libvirt.
I prefer using /srv for purposes of "Drive D:" in Windows.
STEP 1. Install all requied software
Execute as root on the server:
apt-get update
apt-get install qemu kvm libvirt-bin virt-top virtinst
apt-get install openssh-server screen bridge-utils
Optionally, install some useful software as well:
apt-get install vim zsh screen moreutils colordiff monkeytail rsync rdiff rdiff-backup pwgen lsof iotop
apt-get install tcpdump traceroute
apt-get install ntp # only on main host
apt-get install munin munin-node # nice load graphs
