User Feedback :: DSL Slashdotted Again



probably nothing.

I'm betting this company will die, and the oss world will inherit the emulation software.

Becaise even on my 2ghz amd box, this still runs like a 1-legged fat kid stuck in a pool of molasses.

Now, if they can figure out how to trim down the emulation method to where it hass acceptible performance of run-o-the-mill boxes, it might make it. O_o

You guys who have tried Qemu inside Windows, how does it compare to the VirtualPC in speed and other respects?

I would say about 80-90% of VirtualPC

I got thier method working but I want to test it before I show you guys (I hate being told that what I worked on it worthless or stupid) but hey constructive critisizm never killed anyone

Any negative remarks posted in this thread are NOT directed at you..
We don't shoot the messenger here....
You did a great job of building the virtual-DSL , from what I can see..

I have run DSL inside of VMWare for Windows, and been unsatisfied ..
I have run Windows inside of VMWare for Linux..same results..

If I were cross-platform testing an app, for example, without any performance checks,
or offering some type of network support where I needed to mirror a desktop,
then I can see a benefit to running DSL emulated..

I have used the VNC to run my DSL box from a windows desktop.
Isn't that a much more secure way to operate hardware under Linux ?

Otherwise, WTF ?
