According with my promise in blog some days ago, today i have try to use Qemu and virtualbox for emulate and running Ubuntu linux on my panic! desktop. I think Virtualbox is faster than qemu for loading and running. It need less resource compared with Qemu. Virtualbox also have a builtin gui that easy to use for beginner. Here is the screenshot:

Yesterday i have done upgrade the qemu emulator from qemu 8.1 to 9.0. i also install the qemu accelarator that have been release as opensource now, kqemu-1.3.0pre11 (QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) is a driver allowing the QEMU PC emulator to run much faster when emulating a PC on an x86 host.) I add a command to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to load the kqemu module automatically at boot. For the GUI i use KQemu, a komander script that make easier to use qemu.
