KVM Guest

The KVM Guest is the virtual system that runs inside the KVM Host.

Setting up the KVM Guest is just like a regular installation, except for the fact that there is no physical hardware involved. Plan ahead and make a good installation, which can be used as a template for other KVM Guests later on. This installation will be a minimal install. Once installed it will never be booted again, it will only sit there for the purpose of cloning.
