a bunch of things!

- The internets are now up and tubin' at our place, after like two months! Thank you, Corey yourusername, for letting the install dude into the house.

- Mung bean sprouts are roughly the most delicious thing in the whole world. Also, the farmer's market is roughly the most delicious place to shop in the whole world.

- hackmode will be up Pretty Soon. Brett zip4096 was like "what about virtualized hosting"? And I really like that idea, and it's a lot less expensive than colocation. Plus Xen rocks really hard.

- Talk Like A Pirate Day seems to have lost some momentum, questionmark? Discuss.

QEMU (the Quick Emulator) can act as both an emulator, or with the relevant kernel driver, a virtualizer. In virtualization mode it can run unmodified Operating Systems (including Windows) at similar speed to VMWare. Xen uses QEMU for emulation of legacy drivers and to support the QCOW virtual hard disk format.

I guess that answers our question. :)

It's true! And sometimes the OS is either already-ready for being run virtualized, or somebody's modified it...
