Bochs? Anybody {using,used,know anything about} it?



Greetings,

Just stumbled over some software known as Bochs. It sounds as if I could install that on my Debian 4.0 system and then be able to run Win 2k as needed in a "partition" when needed.

Is Bochs fast enough to be practical? I have a P4, 1.5GB mem. What I do right now is use several networked laptops running Windows & VNC.

Right now I am beginning to look for better alternatives.

TIA!
Dennis
