Qemu

Playing around with Qemu, a system emulator.

GUI
I managed to boot an Ubuntu Live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop, using Qemu. The result was a usable Linux desktop inside the emulator run from a terminal on my Fedora 8 desktop. Qemu wasn't installed so to install it I opened a terminal and typed 

sudo yum install qemu

When that was finished I inserted the Ubuntu Live CD and issued the following as root 

qemu -cdrom /dev/sr0 -m 512 &

Here's a few screen shots of it running.
