November Meeting Notes

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

The star of the November meeting was Ben Dailey who presented a detailed introduction to QEMU, an open source emulator that can emulate several different processors and architectures.

Ben followed his detailed talk with several demos, including time trials in booting Damn Small Linux on both VMWare and QEMU. VMWare won 38 seconds to 57, not bad for a free product that is largely the work of just 2 men.

Rob also mentioned that he was hosting the LUG Christmas party at his house. The date will be Dec. 14 (the second Thursday of the month, not the usual third Thursday). More information will be sent out to the mailing list, but save the date.
