Q (ute, but sloooow dog)

Being playing a bit with the -free- CPU emulator, Q.
Yesterday spooned it to the point that I had to reboot Thor because after a bad virtual host configuration, trying to use an Ubuntu Live CD, it completely locked up when I tried to remove the CD from the CD tray.
In the end, the spinning wheel crap ended, and I got the system back, but there was a problem with the Menu Bar, it was out of sync by an app, displaying that last used app all the time, a total and complete PITA.

Tonight tested it with the latest Ubuntu beta release... Booting the system takes for ever, it took from 11:22 to 11:54 PM to get a working prompt, and the X server could not start at all, had to switch to a virtual (in this case, should I say a virtual-virtual?) terminal to properly access the Ubuntu virtual host.
I'm beat, I'll continue with this tomorrow, but it is way too slow on my hardware.
