+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.
+
+See also the preconfigured system images on http://oszoo.org/
+Many live cd isos also work.
