KVM = A KVM switch is a hardware device that allows a user to control computers from one or more sets of keyboards, video monitors, and mice. Basically with kvm you can access the server straight from the BIOS, like you were actually there. For the nub nubs - It's a bios level RDP to speak.

- Download and extract the portable qemu-kvm. /tmp folder is enough for this portable qemu-kvm. Just run this

- Okay, we are setup on our emulator, lets download a windows ISO and what better place than hetzner itself?
|
||||
Hetzner has 2 types of mirrors - Internal and external, the internal one is accessible without login from "inside the hetzner network" and external one is public.
|
||||
We will use the external one to see the path of the image we want and use the internal url (they both have same structure)
|
||||
|
||||
Visit http://download.hetzner.com/bootimages/

Visit [this site](http://download.hetzner.com/bootimages/)

The logins are

To save you the time I have the external url's here
