Windows 2008 to Debian

There comes a limit to how many virtual machines you can run on a Mac Mini.  I bought a server for about $500 from savemyserver.com.  It has 1.2 TB of hard drive, 48 GB RAM, and 8 cores of processor.  I have not put any VMs on there yet, but did replace Windows 2008 Server that came pre-installed with Debian.  From experience, I can tell you if Debian is complaining about needing some firmware to continue, you should probably figure out how to get that before you go on.  I found this site to be pretty helpful when looking for individual files of firmware, rather than Debian packages which include firmware.

I'll update as I go, my dream is to use xen as my hypervisor.
