Oh, one last thing I nearly forgot to mention. Use Debian Wheezy i386, and not the x64 variant. I usually start with the netinst ISO personally, but I am not afraid of the command line, and know exactly how I want Debian installed.
At the end where the installer asks which additional packages you want installed, deselect *EVERYTHING*, as it will install several packages of the same type crapping up the system. then once you login for the first time issue # apt-get update # apt-get install sudo // if you want sudo # apt-get install openssh-server >From here on, you should be able to ssh from your host to configure / maintenance / use the VM.
