If you're doing kernel development, qemu has one killer feature in that it's got gdb integration. You can, at any point, halt the emulated processor and debug what it's doing. Which means that when you get a mysterious triple fault for no apparent reason you can actually find out *why*. It makes early-stage debugging so, so much easier. (I have got an OS up and running on a dev board where the only debugging feature was an LED. That was 'fun'. And yes, I did do it in the snow while walking uphill both ways!) -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "Parents let children ride bicycles on the street.
