AFAIK, none support Beryl. VirtualBox and Qemu are basically the same thing, and they are the fastest, then comes VMWare and in the end Virtual PC.

Virtual PC does not even support GUI in Linux by default, leave alone beryl.

Yup, VirtualBox is based on Qemu. Though both VirtualBox and Qemu dont support as many OSs as VMware.

Talking Re: VMware or Virtualbox or Qemu or Microsoft Virtual PC... which supports beryl

Isnt it *wise* to run ur window$ from virtual machine on GNU/Linux rather than running Linux in virtual machine from Window$?
anybody tried Xen?
Quote:
Windows as guest

It is currently possible to run Microsoft Windows as a guest operating system unmodified, using hardware virtualization provided by Intel's Vanderpool technology or AMD's Pacifica. This is supported beginning with Xen 3.0.

During the development of Xen 1.x, Microsoft Research, along with the University of Cambridge Operating System group, developed a port of Windows XP to Xen. This was possible due to Microsoft's Academic Licensing Program. The terms of this license do not allow this port to be published, although the experience is documented in the original Xen SOSP paper.

Yes, u can try VMWARE on Windows for using Linux. BUT in my experience u need a good RAM >= 512 MB and a good processor.
My aging PC has 512 MB RAM and 2.4 GHz speed. Since windows is itself is a resource hog, I had to switch off many services and apps to make VMWARE work nicely and smoothly!! I guess a duo-core wud do fine and then allocate static space for ur guest OS if u need more speed.

BTW, if u just want to learn commandlines and see Beryl then download the latest Knoppix edition and have phun!!

I don't think you can run Beryl in a virtual environment ..
