[Qemu-devel] Support Questions

[Joe Lee]

Wanted to know about individuals that provides support and custom 
development for QEUM.

Re: [Qemu-devel] Support Questions

Well,

Fabrice Bellard is main developer, and KQEMU whole developer.
Paul Brook maintains ARM system, and QVM86 whole developer.
Jocelyn Mayer (away) maintains PPC system.
Blue Swirl maintains Sparc system.
A couple of collaborators do development taks.
I maintain the OS compatibility list and do extensive operating  
system compatibility testing.

Just, for what you want that information?

... and has commit rights to QEmu's main repository.

... and of course, you can always ask the question on this list (which is 
the Open Source way anyway), and if there are too few, or none, to answer 
the question, you can add some digit with a dollar sign after it to entice 
people to help you ;-)

I came across a product called Iemulator and think it based on QEMU. If 
so, I wanted to know how possible is it to re-brand qemu to something 
similar to Iemulator.

Also, I am quite new to QEMU and virtualization in general and wanted to 
know the difference between QEMU and product like OpenVZ. Based on my 
reading on them I think they are quite different. I suppose QEMU is more 
like VMware aimed at end users and OpenVZ would be more for Enterprise 
servers.

It is based on QEmu. See http://www.iemulator.com/iemulator_faq.php, "Is 
iEmulator based on the BOCHS emulator?". It is perfectly legal. The core 
of QEmu is licensed under the LGPL, and accordingly, (at least 
some) sources of iEmulator are freely downloadable.

OpenVZ is a virtualiser, i.e. it uses the hardware -- including the CPU -- 
of the host, and relies on the OS to handle the sharing parts. Therefore, 
you can not run unmodified kernels (or Windows for that matter) using 
OpenVZ.

QEmu is a system emulator, i.e. the hardware componentes are emulated. As 
for the CPU, QEmu uses a technique called "translation" or Just-In-Time 
compilation in order to execute the code. If the host CPU is of the same 
type as the emulated CPU, you can use KQEmu or QVEmu to kind-of virtualise 
the CPU instead.

Correct. The principal application for QEmu is to run a different OS in 
a window on your desktop. The principal application for OpenVZ or Zen is 
to run many virtual computers (servers) on one host.

IEmulator (as of the 1.7.x series) is a rebrand of a early stage  
project Q Build (http://www.kju-app.org/proj/) which is based on QEMU  
itself. Q has different graphic output and some frontend extensions  
compared to QEMU. We tried to port the natural virtualization modul  
qvm86 to OS X, too. But as QEMU has moved on, we have put a hold on  
that. So QEMU on OS X (ppc and intel) remains a simulation.

Re: [Qemu-devel] Support Questions

[Joe Lee]

I am looking for a good GUI for QEMU. Below are the one I've found about 
so far. Does anyone know of any other good GUI
that would be similar to VMware?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kqemu/
http://emeitner.f2o.org/qemu_launcher
