I want to switch all my computers to SuSE, but there are still some programs I need, which are running under Windows. I would like to find somebody who is using SuSE as host and Windows XP as guest, who can give me some hints. Some of the questions are: 1. How to set it up? 2. Can I do a pre-work and set it up under XP first and use the image than later under SuSE? 3. I have some programs, e.g. Rosetta Stones which requires a key which is different with each installation. How will this be with QEMU? If I use this QEMU image on another computer? and if I use this image (if possible) under another host? 4. I need to have network access 5. I need to have USB support (camera, card readers, scanner, phone, iPod), which I cannot yet or some never move to Linux. 6. I want to use samba with the host and with my other servers. 7. I want to use for all kind of "data" a hard disk (or space on a server), so that the images are always "clean" and can be reused without data. Personal settings are ok. I hope I can get many hints to get this transition soon. bye Ronald
