It should be noted that since I'm on 10.5, I'm using a 32-bit kernel, along with 32-bit app and guest OS.
Getting an installation of Debian up and running on a virtual environment was actually pretty easy the following should apply equally well for other (Intel x86) operating systems. I'm using a run-of-the-mill Mac Mini, dual-core 2GHz with 4GB of memory (only 3 accessible, I suspect) with 10.5 (no, I've not updated to Snow Leopard yet). As a result, I decided to finally roll out a virtual Linux box running on my Mac OSX box in order to be able to test against a Linux environment as well as an OSX one (which, of course, is already UNIX based).
I recently needed to be able to install some software which wasn't available as a pre-compiled binary for Mac OSX, but was for a variety of Linux distributions.
