If you had taken the time to look at the savannah project you would have seen patches in the patch tracker. There is development being done on plex86 at the moment, it's only not really visible because the CVS isn't working. > It would be > great if plex86 were finished, but pretending that it can replace vmware > at this point when it can't does no service to the free software > community. It can replace vmware easily. There might be some bugs which might cause that it doesn't really work at the moment, those bugs are fixable. You can also checkout the plex86 of some time ago when it still worked and use that. Promoting non-free software when there is a free alternative doesn't service the free software community at all.
