---Reply to mail from Steven Lake about Virtual PC for FreeBSD?? > Ok, I've just found a new playtoy in windows called Virtual PC. > Very cool program. Now, I'm wondering, is there something like this in > freebsd? That would be so cool. And no, I'm not talking about Wine > either. hehe. Check out Bochs and Plex86. The former is the most like Virtual PC in that it emulates the x86 CPU, and so runs on non-x86 systems as well as on x86 computers. The latter is more like VMware, in that it "just" virtualizes the machine, so it only runs on x86 hardware, but is faster. For that matter, VMware is also an option, but AFAIK it's only available as a Linux program, so you need to run it with the Linux support libraries. Bochs and Plex86 are open source, but VMware is commercial. -- Rod Smith rodsmith@rodsbooks.com http://www.rodsbooks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
