QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
|
|
good emulation speed.
|
|
QEMU has two operating modes:
|
|
|
|
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
|
|
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
|
|
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
|
|
the PC or to debug system code.
|
|
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
|
|
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
|
|
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
|
|
cross-debugging.
|
|
|
|
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.

Many live cd isos also work.
