1QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
2good emulation speed.
3QEMU has two operating modes:
4
5    * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
6(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
7It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
8the PC or to debug system code.
9    * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
10Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
11launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
12cross-debugging.

14As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.
