WinOS+QEMU+Knoppix 3.8 = WinKnoppix!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-klaus-you-hypnotize-me dept.

chronicon writes "As reported earlier Knoppix 3.8 was presented and CD's distributed at CeBIT recently. For those of us who were not able to attend, some kind folks have posted a torrent for all to enjoy. Now, here's where it really gets interesting. Using QEMU (processor emulator) chris-uk has posted a modified version of Knoppix 3.8 that will run under Windows if auto-played, or if you wish, you can boot the CD for normal Knoppix. You can find the torrent here."

    So you still boot knoppix off CD, not only without leaving the comfort of windows, but not even rebooting from windows?

    What's the point? Whatever stability linux has is destroyed by being emulated through some virtual machine while windows is still running?

    Are some people just that lazy to take the extra step of rebooting their machine or is their windows uptime just that important to them?
