Have not yet tried it under Puppy or other Linuxes

Well, this software has been brought up on this forum before.

I've used it in Linux and find it very buggy and unstable. I find qemu the best alternative. There's a tutorial on my website about it.

KVM Virtualization Alternative

#3 Post by jam »

The KVM LInux kernel component has been available since the kernel's 2.6.20 release, which *should* make it easier to seamlessly integrate into Puppy in future releases, should virtualization be a desired component in the standard release. For more info, see: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki. Running a VM requires a modified QEMU.
