I am looking to use VMware or QEMU on ubuntu 7.10 desktop.
The hardware will be AMD Athlon XP with 1 GB RAM.
The choice is between VMWARE and QEMU.
Qemu wins hands down if you want better performance with kqemu ( kernel acceleration ) and don't mind messing around with commands. You have "virtual manager" gui from Fedora buddies, for managing things, but its definitely not what my idea of smooth is.
VMWare - definitely point and click, but horrible performance.
Instead you could try virtualbox for point and click operation. They even promise acceleration.
If you had vt enabled bios then you could go for kvm and be happy for a long long time.

i tried the command to see if i have VT enabled bios and unfortunately i dont. was hoping to try it out. Did you also have disabled by default and were able to enable it? how did it work for you? my board is the m2n-mx se
