Didn't know that, sorry. What's the performance like? I've seen Intel binaries running on an Alpha and it's terrible. Running an entire OS under emulation of a different CPU doesn't sound very encouraging to me. Running a native unix sounds like a much better idea... VMware has this advantage, that it runs the second os on its native platform. Even so, I've heard you need a fairly powerful machine for it to be useful. R.
