Subject: Emulators - was Re: Mac Emulators
I have a question for Bruce, or maybe others...
I recently purchased a copy of Virtual PC6 with Windows XP Pro, as a
birthday gift for a friend's teenager son. He has a G3B&W running OS
9 & X, but uses Windows boxes at school. I don't know how much it
will help him with the various "stuff" they do at school, but figured
it might be useful. In any case, knowledge of both OSs is always
handy.
From what I read about various versions of Virtual PC it looks like
you can use Virtual PC to run other operating systems too. Adding
something like Linux might be an interesting summer project for him.
Any comments or suggestions?

Net/Free/DragonFly/OpenBSD will run under Virtual PC, last I tried.
There should be at least one linux distro that will as well.
If you want to see what Virtual PC can do, check this out:
