I can't help being a little amazed over my self here. I actually succeeded in installing debian under windows xp/qemu. To b honest its not very useable as its very slow and laggy. I have tryed several things, even assigning one of my cpu cores for qemu only, but no luck. Anyway, it works now i just need to install win xp under Debian (not qemu debain).

I also tried to install the arm based Debian, but thats a completely different story and i failed, big time.

Anyway, it was kinda fun to do.


Now i know somebody is gonna ask: "why do i need to know this?" and the answer is that you don't, but i had to tell someone.

ok, i guess im the only one finding this subject interesting... Anyway happy new year!!!
It's now 6:15 in the morning and tomorrow i won't remember having written this...

It's 12:16 here. I would advise going to bed if it's 6:15.

Now try, xp + vmware == debian, and linux + vmware = xp.

you'll notice a speed increase when using a linux host (although this was on a pentuim 4 2ghz, the time i did this, you get a conseriable increase when using this setup on a linux host with multiple cores. Although I haven't tried this with a windows host).
