I am doing my daily dist-upgrade and I see it is upgrading bochs. Being the
inquisitive guy I am I looked at it's man page to see what it does.
bochs(1) The Bochs Project
NAME bochs - Portable x86 Emulator.
SYNOPSIS bochs [bochs_options] [bochsrc_options]
DESCRIPTION
Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator that runs on
most popular operating systems. Inside the emulator, it can run many
operating systems including GNU, GNU/Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R).
~~~~~~~~~
Portable x86 emulator? Ohhhhh. Is this for those who are not on x86 computers?
(apple and whaterver else is out there) What else is there besides Apple and
IBM clones? Does Motorola have there very own architecture Or are they an IBM
clone?? I think someone said that they did. Is intel an IBM clone machine? I
know, that terminology is so 80's. Motorola needs to support the Linux
movement! Since Intel designs chips for M$ motorola should make their chip
for Linux. Then Linux will have two very major companies behind it. Does IBM
make processors also?
Also; what in the world does bximage do? All I can gleam from the man/info
page is thaat it is an 'interactive disk image creator'. I ran it to see how
it works and it didn't do anything. Is this supposed to put bochs on a disk?
I am so confused right now!
