[KSB2} Au contraire, I run Kubuntu and occasionally Debian Sid, and
not Red Hat or Fedora. QEMU runs well. The kernel accelerator
doesn't. My CPU doesn't have VT - I tried KVM on a colleague's laptop
with an AMD dual core CPU with VT. So I resort to VMware-workstation
as the least bad way to run Win XP on those rare occasions when I
must.
