An important point is that in most cases, whoever "rolls" a distro for a 
guest system will assume that the user is running directly on the host, 
i.e. that the guest's console can open in an xterm. At least until you 
know what's going on, if you do have to access the host system over a 
network (i.e. rather than having a directly-connected screen and 
keyboard) start off with a graphical login using e.g. VNC.
