Greetings ladies and gentlemen, I'm trying to avoid Virtualbox because
non-free compilers is now required. Well, I knew that Oracle was not
trustworthy.
Now I'm trying to use qemu for my emulation but the results are not as good
as I think it would. Slow performance even with the raw format. Specially
when I run ReactOS (I need Windows for using some programs in the university
and I want to try to stay as much "free as in freedom" as I can).
Please, do you know if it is possible to improve qemu's performance?
The command I'm running to emulate ReactOS is (with the help of aqemu):
/usr/bin/qemu -monitor stdio -smp 2 -cpu coreduo -soundhw es1370 -M pc -k es
-enable-kvm -m 2005 -localtime -cdrom
/home/user/VirtualMachines/ReactOS-BootCD.iso -hda realization -boot
once=d,menu=off -net none -alt-grab -name "reactos" -net user -net
nic,model=ne2k_pci
The "-net nic,model=ne2k_pci" and "-net user" options is something I added
because it's the only way I've found to activate ReactOS internet connection.
