[H-GEN] FW: [linux-biz] The New Hercules Erectus of Linux

[Ross Camm]

yep i have used bochs. Because it is emulated totally in software, and does
not allow direct access to the cpu....it is very slow....

it took around 20 hours to install win95 on a p100 48M ram. And no mouse
support yet.

so at this stage is is too slow to be usable.

but i have seen on other mailing lists that softwindows is rumored to be
soon ported to linux. This should be a faster option. see below.
