- is fully batchable (Unix-philosophy, no GUI-nightmares)
- it's really fast
- the disk image format is quite open, so it should be able
to convert it into many other formats

make allnoconfig
select just hardware which is available in the QEMU emulation
busybox
-------
make allnoconfig
select just what's needed for booting and running a simple application

miniperl

--------------
export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 (if the console mouse doesn't work)
qemu -hda minilinux.img
or in text mode
qemu -curses -hda minilinux.img
or
Visualbox (create a new machine using an "existing" virtual harddisk,
minilinux.vdi)
or
VMWare: start the player, workstation with the minilinux.vmx virtual
