   - Use manual (fixed ip) network configuration for servers right from the beginning
   - install updates as soon as possible <code>sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo reboot</code>
+  - **FOR VMs ONLY:** If this installation is a virtual machine on some hypervisor don't forget to install the "guest drivers" or "guest tools" matching your virtualisation host. So a VM on a VMWARE host needs **open-vm-tools** to be installed. On a ProxMox/QEMU/KVM host you usually install **qemu-guest-agent**. On Virtualbox it's called **virtualbox-guest-utils**: <code>
+# Pick one, only one!
+apt install -y qemu-guest-agent # for proxmox qemu kvm VMs
+# or
+apt install -y virtualbox-guest-utils # for VMs on Virtualbox
+# or
+apt install -y open-vm-tools # i wouldn't use VMWARE. no, really!
+</code>
   - Install generic useful tools early:<code>apt install -y ethtool bridge-utils net-tools vim nmap atop htop iftop iotop lvm2 tmux screenfetch firefox</code>
   - Edit bootloader "grub", disable graphical bootloader modes, make it human readable:<code>cat << EOF >> /etc/default/grub
