< li > < a href = "http://plex86.sourceforge.net" > Plex86< / a >
has been rehashed/revitalized to offer a very lightweight Virtual Machine (VM)
for running Linux/x86. Rather than implement a full and heavyweight VM which
can run all guest Operating Systems, the new approach is designed to run
only Linux VMs, making the new plex86 architecture on the order of 10x or 100x
more simplistic.

Simics< / a > is a commercial simulator that can target IA32, IA64, Sparc, Alpha,
ARM, PowerPC, and MIPS architectures. From their website: "Virtutech Simics is
a full system simulation platform that provides a controlled, deterministic,
and fully virtualized environment. It simulates both uniprocessor and
multiprocessor systems, provides a common infrastructure for a broad variety of
tasks, including: microprocessor design; memory hierarchy design; component
development and testing; automated software quality testing; SoC virtual
prototypes; hardware-software co-simulation; and the development of firmware,
drivers, and operating systems."

"You want to run your favorite Linux-installation with the Bochs-Emulator but
you think it is too tedious to install it from within Bochs? Bochs-Tools are
the solution for your problem. With Bochs-Tools, cloning an existing
OS-installation to a Bochs-image is only a matter of a few commands. "
< li > < a href = "http://www.undisker.com/" > Undisker< / a > is a disk image utility that can open, create, and extract ISO files. ISO files are images (duplicates) of complete CDROM disks containing exact binary copies of the original CDs. Usually, you have to burn an ISO file on a CD to extract its contents, but now you can simply open an ISO file in Undisker.
