[SqNOS] SqueakNOS on Dell Optiplex

[Michael J. Zeder]

everthing sounds great ;)

one more general question regarding the future direction of sqNOS: Are there plans, or considerations on making the new CogVM the basis of SqNOS. I have no idea, if that would be an easy or a major task, but the performance advantages seem attractive to me...

cheers
michael



ps: sorry for messing up the threads, i got something wrong.
