[PPC] Windows on a PowerPC Ubuntu using QEMU?

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi. Is it possible to run Windows on Ubuntu PowerPC using QEMU? I looked for several guides on the net but that wasn't clear. I installed several GUI's for QEMU and KVM (like Aqemu and Qemulator and some others). So, the process of creating virtual machines must be quite easy. I also understand that I can install a virtual version of any Ubuntu or Power PC Linux with QEMU, for testing purposes, for instance. The question is: can I installa Windows virtual machine on a Power PC Ubuntu (or any other Linux, of course), even if Windows is not made for Power PC? Or: can I run Windows on a Powe (Hardware)

I've downloaded qemu for ppc and I also downloaded an debian sqeeze image for the ppc from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/powerpc/ .

it gives me the following error:

Given that Oracle seems to be growing increasingly hostile, it seems that it might be good to migrate off of VirtualBox to KVM/QEMU. However, I have some concerns.

VirtualBox (Oracle's version, not the OSE edition) supports USB devices and setting up a shared directory that I can use to share files between the host machine and the guest machines.

Hello everyone, I'm David from Toulouse, France and this is my first question on this forum, it's already two years that I'm playing with linux, and almost twenty more others that I use unix at work. My question may seem easy or stupid to some of you, but I found discussions relative to the problem I encounter or close to it.

In the wise words of Wikipedia, "Virtualisation is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources". Within this definition sits a whole variety of products - Sun's VirtualBox, Parallels, Bochs, Xen, KVM, Qemu, various flavours of VMware and many others.
