sitor Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hello, I recently fell onto a webpage mentioning Qemu, which seems to be an Open Source alternative to VMWare. See: Qemu homepage and The FreeOSZoo homepage that provides premade Qemu OS images For the moment I have quite little time. If I would receive confirmation that this is a decent solution that is manageable for a non-geek, I would install it to compare it with with VMWare on my Windoze lappy, but also use it to ditch my dual boot on my desktop for a Mandrake only boot with Windoze in Qemu for the games of the kids. Does anyone have any experience with it? Difficult to use? Does it perform well? Anyone a clue why there is so little talk about it, while at first sight this looks like a viable alternative for VMWare that is discussed quite often as a very good solution but too expensive? Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repdeck Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I have just started using it. So far I have got it to run WIn98 on Mandrake 10.0. I have a few small problems but otherwise it runs fine but a little slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
