The only problem that I found, is that sometimes the hardware you have using qemu virtualization is not suited for some of the linux distro you wish to use.
Qemu still requires gcc v3. Debian "Etch" released a version compiled with v4 which was badly broken, I've ended up running a dedicated machine with "Woody" and have compiled from scratch.
As a general point Qemu's virtualisation of PC serial ports doesn't handle the control lines (DTR etc.)- I found a patch which sorted it nicely but again it's a reason to compile from source.
