Software-only 8086 PC emulator for X (Site) - Emulate a basic PC with a VGA text-only display.
Plex86 x86 Virtual Machine Project (Site) - Simulates a x86 processor and can be used to run Linux as a guest. It also can be used to accelerate bochs by executing user code inside the plex86 VM, while letting bochs execute kernel code and IO functionality inside the emulator.
XenSource: Open Source Virtualization (Site) - XenSource enables enterprise-grade virtualization and is the home of the open source Xen hypervisor project. Description, community, company.
Bochs-Tools (Site) - A collection of scripts and programs to be used together with the Bochs-emulator. The main goal was to provide a Unix-like interface to the emulator and to enable access to Bochs disk-images from outside of Bochs.
