BL3 sounds like the ideal linux to download for use under

or XP).

I agree. That's why I added James' BL3 image for QEMU
to the BL3 homepage. So there are now three versions
available: DOS, floppy and QEMU.

And that is why I think the QEMU image should be made more readily available to people using QEMU who don't want to download a few hundred MB to try out linux under it, such as users of XP.

Would it also be helpful, for such users, to post a version of BL3-qemu that has some of the add-ons already added, such as icewm and links2ssl and abiword? It would maybe triple the size, but still only about 15MB.
