No, just kvm, nothing fancy.  Not even kqemu.
kvm is good enough that I don't use vmware these days ;-)

"Impressive" isn't the word that comes to mind.  "Exploitable" maybe :-)

There's a small chance it was the X server.  That tends to lock up

OpenServer was probing the IDE disk at the time, so it looks suspicious.
