VM Plan

Okay, that's it. I'm tired of rebooting to get tools I need in 2 seconds notice. I'm getting tired of chasing down working packages and checking for dependencies. I want to cross-compile with the least amount of hassle.

Virtualization, cometh to the rescue!

Plan

1. Use slamd64 as platform for virtualization.
2. Use kvm on top of slamd64.
3. Party!

The implications are: I could run distributions that were built to do certain tasks, instead of spending hours and hours of precious time to build some packages to run some application.
