However, Bochs does not virtualize, it _emulates_ the IA32 on the instruction level. It's currently the best alternative if you want to take the Hurd for a quick test drive without needing to repartition your hard drive or read complicated installation manuals. -* [Debian package](http://packages.debian.org/bochs) +* [Debian package](http://packages.qa.debian.org/bochs) -Note that Bochs is quite slow, so installing GNU inside its virtual machine will probably take you a lot of time. The Bochs project hosts a [preinstalled GNU image](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580) which can save you a lot of time. It has network, Xfree86 and the console server installed and configured (X has some problems though).
