	Yeah, these are cool.  Alex Corenthin @ UCAD just got a pair
	from Mirjam to play with in Dakar.  Seems to work fine, and cheap.

	I've been using QEMU for over a year now -- the Kernel Acceleration
	module (so native instructions can be executed directly, just like
	vmware) is not open source, but the rest is -- GPL.  Runs fine
	on FreeBSD and Linux, AND it has AMD64 and PPC emulation as well,
	so I can test new versions of SuSE/amd64 and FreeBSD/amd64 once in a
	while.

	boot the Linux kernel from the sources...)
