People really don't like newcomers on this list. Is that so? I think people seem to be pretty nice to each other here, but I might have been reading too much mplayer-dev-eng OTOH. > 2. QEMU-USERS would be great, if it actually worked. Is the list broken? Or is no one answering? I think that we need to separate these things. I am not subscribed to that list, mainly because I'm more interested in the development part. If the list is broken then someone should fix it. > 3. QEMU is rather DIFFICULT to use. I think that depends on what you want to do. It is quite easy to just boot a DOS floppy compared to have a fully networked guest OS. I personally believe that the networking part is very tricky with different modes and their pros and cons. > 4.

Hopefully this will attract more non-developers that can share their experience with each other. Thanks! / magnus
