It works. Problems I noticed when I used it:
- It takes a very long time to boot up compared to qemu.
- networking temporarily hangs when downloading stuff (e.g. wget or apt-get).
Connecting to the VM through ssh and downloading stuff that way works fine. I
think Samuel or somebody mentioned it could be a problem with IRQs.
