&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;The subject line really says it all...wow!  After compiling the cvs
&gt; &gt;&gt;version and installing the accelerator module, things have worked
&gt; &gt;&gt;brilliantly.  So far, I've installed Windows XP and FreeBSD.  Both
&gt; &gt;&gt;installs went more or less flawlessly...very nice.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;Performance is very good with the accelerator module...very, very
&gt; &gt;&gt;usable. It's just a tad slower than Win4Lin 5, although likely this
&gt; &gt;&gt;is due to WinXP vs. Win98 more than anything else.  It's definitely
&gt; &gt;&gt;on par with VMWare/WinXP.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;I'd recommend you give it a shot if you're interested in having a free
&gt; &gt;&gt;alternative to VMWare.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;As a side note, the new Win4Lin Pro product that adds Windows XP
&gt; &gt;&gt;support is actually built on top of Qemu.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;Have fun. Let me know if you have any questions.
&gt; &gt;&gt;

&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I just installed this and want to give it a whirl.  Does it work like
&gt; &gt; VMWare in that I can install Win2000 virtually and run from this
&gt; &gt; machine?  If so, just a pointer or two on starting this up.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Thanks.
&gt; &gt;

&quot;All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.&quot;
