Install KVM into Debian Jessie

This is an first article to install KVM into Debian Jessie based on the https://wiki.debian.org/KVM, kicked this article by Ubuntu 16.10 doesn't boot on my server - Shammerism.
After OS install with the smallest options, selected only standard system utilities and SSH Server only, do following.

  1. apt-get update
  2. apt-get install emacs
  3. apt-get install qemu-kvm
  4. apt-get install libvirt-bin
  5. apt-get install vlan
  6. apt-get install virt-manager
  7. copy ISO files to use install guest VMs to /var/lib/libvirt/images/ISO

After above done, change SSH config because root can't login with password but virt-manager requires root login with password. In detail, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config like below.

# Authentication:
LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin yes
StrictModes yes

All above action done, reboot host OS just in case.
