It's bloody impressive, is what it is.
What is a shame is that accelerated qemu is a propiatery application...
On a /real/ box... as opposed to the whitebox dinosaurs my company (the
company I work for rather) thinks it's entertaining to have me work
with... the emulation probably wouldn't be quite as tedious as it is ...
OSS qemu or no.
Bleating aside... apart from the speed, I'm still in a state of being
very impressed... and ... I'm relishing showing off this new toy, to all
the other techies where I work.. who insist on inflicting crap distos on
themselves, like OSX... and Windows XP... and RHEL...
