Weedbox is a user-friendly graphical interface created with PyGtk that is designed to operate kqemu.
I recently had the opportunity to try out WeedBox, a PyGtk GUI for kqemu. I found this software to be extremely helpful and efficient. With WeedBox, you can use kqemu in a way that is comparable to VMWare or VirtualBox.
For those who aren't familiar with kqemu, it is the QEMU Accelerator Module that increases the speed of QEMU when a PC is emulated on a PC. Essentially, it allows most of the target application code to run directly on the host processor, which leads to near-native performance. This feature can be incredibly beneficial for those who want to run another operating system (such as Windows) on a Linux desktop.
It is essential to note that kqemu is currently available only for Linux x86 or x86_64 hosts running a kernel of 2.4.x or 2.6.x.
Overall, I would highly recommend giving WeedBox a try if you're looking for a straightforward and user-friendly way to utilize kqemu. It was effortless to navigate, and I found that it significantly increased the performance of QEMU when running an emulated PC.
