dsrtaoThe tools provided for managing virtual machines in Debian Lenny are fully up to the standards that I expect for first-class software in Debian.
Specifically, kvm, qemu, and the libvirt series of tools including virt-manager, virsh and virt-viewer are all good. If an AMD CPU supports virtualization extensions, it's easy to add kernel support; if an Intel CPU supports them *and the motherboard BIOS does too* then that is similarly easy. No cookie for whoever at Intel decided to require special motherboard support for on-chip instructions.
Now I need to work out some odd networking issues and I may be fairly happy.
