Package: qemu (0.8.2-4etch3) [security]

fast processor emulator

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports arm, powerpc, sparc and x86 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs. QEMU has two operating modes: 

 * User mode emulation: QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for
   one CPU on another CPU.
 * Full system emulation: QEMU emulates a full system, including a
   processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and
   debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual
   hosting of several virtual PC on a single server.

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