After hearing about qemu, I decided to take a look at it. I have it up
a running and it reminds me of dosemu, which I ran under Linux about the
time windows 95 came out.
I hit a few bumps getting everything running, but after I got the
acceleration working it's not bad. Still, It's not nearly as mature as
VMware. Below are some of the thinks I hit in get gemu going.
1) I had to manually create the /dev/kqemu and set permissions to
666 before I could get kqemu acceleration going.
2) There is very limited support for sound hardware. One of the
following sound cards must be installed before the gemu sound emulation
will work:
sb16 Creative Sound Blaster 16
es1370 ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370
This is not a big deal as I could disable the sound on the BIOS and buy
one of the above sound cards for $20.00 or $30.00.
The graphic user interface not very helpful, so it is necessary to
toggle over to the command window for things like taking a snapshot, etc.
