[TriLUG] WinXP in QEMU?

[David McDowell]

Why do you think QEMU would be prohibitively slow??  It's a decent
piece of hardware, P4 with 512MB ram (could maybe use more ram).

I have a vmware 4.5 rpm that last worked in FC1 and probably FC3, so I
suppose it should work in CentOS 3.4 or 4, but I guess I won't know
that til I try it.

thanks,
David
