I'm downloading FreeBSD 6.. prepare for the worst..

On the linux front. Qemu now supports full virtualisation for Linux/Win2k and 
WinXP guests! w00t
(Oh, and 1600x1200 resolution but only in 8 bit mode)
And with the vnc patch, it will compile sans X and SDL libs so you can run it 
on your headless 
servers :) Nothing like having Win2k, WinXP, Gentoo and Knoppix all sitting and 
running on your 
Debian server and add accessible via vnc and or ssh :)

Oh, I believe it runs virtual i386 based OS on x64 hosts also now.. so you can 
have your native x64 
distro and still run a full speed virtualised linux/windows guest on it..

The requirement for VMware is slowly going away :)

Oh! and of course it's excellent for testing new linux distributions without 
messing with your 
machine. I've finally got around to having a look at Gentoo and I'm on my way 
to BSD (though I'm not 
sure if BSD will work with the full virtualisation yet)
