Last I checked, I believe they're on track for a v1.0 release in November or December. I, honestly, haven't had many problems with unexpected segfaults on either Gentoo or Ubuntu, so I can't give any advice for that.

I updated to the ~x86 version (0.14) -- while the guest OS installs
and runs OK, kernel acceleration (kqemu module) is no longer
supported, and without it Qemu is really slow.

For now I've switched to VirtualBox, but the console implementation in<= br> VirtualBox is nightmarishly slow. When I do -l looks like it's

Is Qemu dead? =A0Or just dying?
