Not tested yet but this isn't the orginal article where I saw Red Hat talking about supporting it but this one is much more detailed. Hopefully Mepis someday may jump on board. http://news.com.com/2100-7344_3-5581484.html

It's probably safe to say now since LinuxWorld is occuring. I saw a beta running win2000 using win4lin on linux ($99) so that's pretty cool. Before win4lin only ran win95/98 but a new version will do win2000/XP. Win4lin basically runs those windows versions inside of linux. I'd assume Mepis will eventually support win4lin in the kernel as it has in the past.

Read an annoucement today about next Fedora going to support Xen
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/
and I've played with Bochs and QEMU but this one looks like a actual viable GPL competitor to VMWare. Just needs support in the kernel (like win4lin does) at least from my understanding.

Very cool! Anyone else interested in this? I could maybe see using this as a replacement for Win4Lin in community contributed bits (such as my own kernels).

Anyone actually test it yet?
