A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Drew Northup N1XIM <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: lgpl
Other License: 
Package: Plex86 Virtual Machine
System name: plex86
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The intent of applying for project space on Savannah is to move the Plex86 
project from its current home at http://www.plex86.org (as hosted by 
www.fastxs.org) to a place where I (Drew Northup N1XIM) can continue the Plex86 
(formerly FreemWare) project started by Kevin Lawton (the creator of Bochs, 
http://bochs.sourceforge.net).  The reasons that I cannot continue to maintain 
the project at its current address are numerous--but they all break down the 
basic issue of admin access.  Here at Savannah Plex86 may be more easily 
maintained by myself (and hopefully others in the near future) since I will 
have CVS write access here, and since I will have the needed permissions to 
maintain the project web site here.

Plex86, in case you are not familiar with it, is an attempt to create a free 
(LGPL), more capable, and more user-friendly alternative to VmWare.  Plex86 
seeks to be a true virualizer of the Intel Architecture--unlike VmWare--and 
thus should be an extreemely useful development tool for anyone whom doesn\'t 
wish to commit a machine to just testing activities.  Also, extenstions to 
Plex86 have been purposed to allow Plex86 to take on duties similar to Citrix 
MetaFrame in client server environments.  All in all Plex86 seeks to be a true 
broad-based free software project.
