With the tun/tap stuff you can have the guest OS create a bridge on one of it's physical NICs and have your guest OS use normal IP address to appear to other systems on your LAN as just another system. I have this up and running under Linux, Mac OS seems more difficult :( With the user-land QEMU networking, you can use the -redir option to redirect specific udp and/or tcp ports, which means I can, if I want, still redirect X or use ssh from the host to the guest. But I can't do things like NFS mount file systems from other systems to the guest, etc.
I was mainly interested in QEMU to run TiVo 2 Go to put videos on my storage area. I figured out how to get Galleon to do it instead; it's native Java too. There are still things QEMU is useful for though.
VMware seems to be faster, but I'm not running the kemu module. VMware > isn't an option for you on PPC nor me on Solaris. kemu is available for > Solaris x86, but not PPC. I'm not sure about MacOSX x86. I'm not using the kemu accelerator either, and as you said, VMWare isn't an option :(
I don't think there's a non x86 kemu either.
QEMU has a nice tool that will convert VMware images to/from QEMU so you can > should be able to grab the prebuilt VMware appliances to use with QEMU. That's a possibility, though I'm using this as a means of learning while stuck on the train 2 hours a day, what fun is there in using an appliance? (Hmmm, do they have a beer-dispensing appliance? ;)
Ah, there are tons of prebuilt appliances. Browser appliance. Network Monitoring appliance. iSCSI applience. LAMPs of various configs. Etc.
VMware has a (free beer) ... application Now THAT would be useful! I've been looking for a free beer application for quite a while! ;)
I was more interested when I was younger :-)
