[Qemu-devel] What is the minimal linux setup for running Qemu ?

[Khan, Mohammad]

I’m wondering about what the minimum requirements are for Linux host to be able to run Qemu?  The idea is to have a less resource hungry host so that the guests would have more resources. Is an X server required? Can a frame buffer device be used for guest display instead? What parts of kernel or libraries can be removed. How about such a minimalist distro which only runs Qemu and related untilities?

Any comments.
