Equipment selection
In addition to the desire, you need a financial component and a choice of equipment.
There was no particular desire to buy used equipment, so it was necessary to choose the most budgetary and productive equipment.
First of all, the choice of the processor - the choice fell on the used Xeon E5 2678 v3 from the well-known Chinese market place, the cost is ~ 7300 rubles. and wait 3 weeks. But we have nothing to do.
While driving, the target processor took a budget Xeon E5 2630L v3 on the well-known Russian flea market. - 2,000 RUB
The next important component is the motherboard - I was afraid to buy a Chinese motherboard without a guarantee on the same site. The price of such a motherboard with good VRM, which can be taken in the region of 8500 rubles. In our online store I found new motherboards for this socket and with a guarantee. Long chose between ASUS SABERTOOTH X99 and ASUS X99-DELUXE II. The equipment of the latter was richer, the price was the same plus or minus. As a result, the choice fell on ASUS SABERTOOTH X99 - 5 years warranty, an additional fan for cooling the VRM, plugs for unused connectors, additional cooling, protection of the entire motherboard and other goodies. Total spent taking into account the use of gift bonuses - 17 654 rubles. After 3 months, it began to cost 27,000 rubles.

Now it's time to install kvm to be able to run virtual VMs. To do this, install kvm, the necessary packages and utilities for monitoring the system:
sudo dnf -y install bridge-utils libvirt virt-install qemu-kvm
sudo dnf -y install virt-top libguestfs-tools
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo dnf -y install virt-manager
sudo dnf -y install htop
sudo dnf -y install iftop
sudo dnf -y install ftop
sudo dnf install lm_sensors lm_sensors-sensord
sudo sensors-detect
Further plans are to deploy the Citrix Virtual Desktop scheme. Use Debian with SAMBA 4 as AD controller.
