I personally don't care for WINE but would really like to know more more about virtualization options on OpenBSD hosts; VirtualBox is the only reason I need to keep some Debian hosts around (that and my secret crush on Larry Ellison). F.ex. compat_linux is x86-only and it's not clear how it plays with chroot, which I know is imperfect, but saying "it can run Linux Skype!" without some sandboxing doesn't seem too safe. Qemu seems like a good project given the flack it gets on wikipedia (very Cartesian, I know), how well can it run on OpenBSD? what's holding it back? which kernel improvements/patches will help? if all VM is counter-security, why? Where do we come from and is there life after death? I demand to know. -- p
