+# Virtual Machine
+
+## About
+
+PBot can interact with a virtual machine to safely execute arbitrary user-submitted
+system commands and code.
+
+This document will guide you through installing and configuration a virtual machine
+by using the widely available [libvirt](https://libvirt.org) project tools, such as
+`virt-install`, `virsh`, `virt-manager`, `virt-viewer`, etc.
+
+Though there are many, many tutorials and walk-throughs available for these tools,
+this guide will demonstrate the necessary `virt-install` and `virsh` commands to
+configure the virtual machine.
+
+You may install a guest Linux distribution of your choice. Any of the recent popular
+Linux distributions should suffice. This guide will use Fedora Rawhide because
+playing around with the latest bleeding-edge software is fun!
+
+Then we will show you the necessary commands to configure the Linux guest system
+to be able to communicate with PBot. Commands and code snippets are sent over a
+virtual serial cable. We'll show you how to set that up.
+
+We'll also show a few tips and tricks to help secure the virtual machine against
+malicious user-submitted commands.
+
+Let's get started.
