It has the following features: * Any x86 OS as a guest (tested only on QEMU) * Install, import, start, stop and reboot instances safely (guest OS needs to be controlled independently) * Clone, backup/export, delete stopped instances 100% safely * Keep track of all your instances on one screen * All transactions that change instance state are password protected at all critical stages * A growing number of general purpose and specialized instances/applications are available for PetiteCloud For more information see http://www.petitecloud.org PetiteCloud 0.2.1 adds support for QEMU and we want to know if the following is true for the widest possible variety of hardware and host configurations: * Did we get QEMU supported correctly? * Given that one of the goals of PetiteCloud is to be usable by any computer professional, are there any _critical_ features that QEMU supports that we do not? (Note that PetiteCloud aims to support only the basic features needed to support virtualized instances and thus will always support only a small subset of QEMU's many features.) -- Aryeh M.
