QEMU may not be a BL3 add-on, but BL3 sounds like the ideal linux to 
download for use under QEMU on a Windows computer, so people can try out 
linux without having to repartition, or add a hard drive, or run it in a 
loop (which might not be possible in Win2000 or XP).

BL3 has advantages even on a faster computer - it takes up little space, 
boots quickly, is small enough to understand and learn from and download 
via dialup, fits on two floppy disks.

The other linux images at the qemu site were pretty large, several hundred 
megabytes each (unless I missed something smaller).  I think even DSL was 
over 200MB.
