sure, works fine under freebsd. I just did a pkg_info -R qemu* and it doesn't
*seem* to depend on anything linux... the Makefile doesnt make any reference to
it either.
I've only used it for hosting a WinXP-Pro guest - it's not as fast as
VMWare,but i'm switching to linux just for that reason. And i wont be buying
vmware workstation linux licenses (needed for VmWare Workstaion 3.x on FreeBSD
host) - my Wkstation-Windows licenses are just fine (but not valid for linux,
according to vmware's support).
