Hi
I've been working on a mini project of my own to become more familiar with Linux and VPS.
I inherited an old family PC which I'd like to use for VPS hosting as a dev area to experiment with VPS hosting and as a Web dev target.
I've installed Debian 8.2 "Jessie" headless with SSH server and hardened that so I can log in via Putty with Public/Private keys and hardened firewall rules.
Basically I've done what is suggested here up to the point where Xen install is referred to and the couple of bits above regarding SSH etc.
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide
However when it came to Xen, only 4.4.2 was available through the package manager via a meta package using aptitude.
I discovered from some further reading I could use some software called 'raisin' to get the source code for Xen and build the package. I've done this but it complained about having some missing packages but when I search for the missing packages now it seems they are installed so I'm assuming 'raisin' got what it knew it would need and installed them.
So now that 'raisin' seems to have completed doing the build I'm informed by it that;
dpkg-deb: building package 'xen-system' in 'xen-system.deb'
If I use aptitude to search for 'xen-system' it finds it with a 'v' next to it, which I understand means virtual.
So I'm guessing at this stage 'raisin' has just built the package and this is not yet installed. Would the next stage be to call the package with aptitude like;
aptitude install xen-system
The other slight bug bear is that I noticed after starting the 'raisin' process that a bug / patch was listed under those instructions. Is there a way to incorporate this patch before installing Xen?

The reason I'd like to use Xen 4.6 is I'd like to see how the PVH mode performs as it seems to be best for performance.

Have only used Ubuntu a bit previously so is all rather new to me. Any help much appreciated.
