Migrating to KVM

Background

A few years ago, the services I provide (web server, mail server and so on) used to run on the same machine that I used as my desktop. It was powerful, spacious but it was also rather hungry on power. So, after some deliberation, I bought myself a fit-PC2i which was quite a power-miser. It had a 1.6Ghz CPU and 1G of RAM and was plenty enough for day-to-day work and serving, and freed up the bigger machine for pure desktop usage. However, I started to notice that occasionally it would freeze for a few seconds. My suspicion is that this is being caused by the SSD which doesn’t support TRIM1. So, I am now looking into moving my server onto my housemate’s server as a KVM instance.
