He's using fedora linux and i think he's using VMware

isn't it slow as hell?

**gendouhydeist** · 11-22-2006,11:20 AM

maybe if the fedora linux arent using the xdr memory on it (xdr is faster than ddr2) or maybe not cause linux is not memory sucker unlike other OSes, other than that picture i dont have any info on how they did it

That's qemu, not vmware.

It would be faster to run WinXP for CELL
I assume IBM has a special version of WinXP for that purpose.

I've never heard of such a thing, and I don't see why they would bother.

IBM have WinXP PPC at least...

I'm really curious about MacOS X

Win XP for PPC?

PPC Support was dropped after NT4.0 (same as for Alpha and MIPS).

There is no Win XP for PPC.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows...rted_platforms

QEMU is a processor emulator which can (among others) simulate X86 processors (including whole systems with peripherals).

That's the "trick" that is used in this case.

hmmm so the processor is only being emulation which i think this is the good start of development
