Controller install

Alito reinstalled using the VB repo: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads#Debian-basedLinuxdistributions

Creating a VM

Seemingly can only be done (or is easiest) through the GUI.

No need to install any desktop packages.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces for a static IP:

  allow-hotplug eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
   address 10.0.0.14
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   gateway 10.0.0.2
   dns-domain local
   dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

Then root@alito:/etc/network# ../init.d/networking restart (and get kicked off).
