+<p>
+This script shows how to make a fresh virtual machine, installing an
+operating system like Fedora or some Red Hat-derived operating system
+such as <a href="http://www.redhat.com/rhel/">Red Hat Enterprise
+Linux</a> or <a href="http://centos.org/">CentOS</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It's fairly easy to modify this script to install Debian derivatives
+too (even from a Fedora host),
+using <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debootstrap">debootstrap</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<i>After</i> running the script, you can boot the new virtual
+machine by doing:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+qemu-kvm -m 512 -hda /tmp/vm.img
+</pre>
