I ran across these emulators and thought you would like to know that there are free Virtual machine softwares out there. they are the best kind...FREEEEEEE!

Brochs--- For Windows & Linux http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

Works well, tried to install win version under wine...DON'T Do It. Linux version installed well and worked without messing with it.

Plex86--- For Linux Only < http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/plex86 >

Have not tried yet

Xen------- For Linux Only < http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/ >

Xen is going to take VmWare for a run, they claim it is much faster...I have used this to run a database server, MySQL with about 40 gigs of data. Users had no idea, they saw no difference.[B][/B]
