Support for cross-OS emulation (e.g. A.R.M GNU/Linux binaries running on Cygwin) may be available in the future. External signals and system calls are the tricky bits of reversible user-space emulation. External signals are approximately the same problem as timer interrupts for system emulation. Q.E.M.U would need to redeliver any external signals during replay, at exactly the same cycles they were delivered during the first execution pass. It would also need to delay new external signals until the machine reaches its present.

Ubuntu on Eee PC 901 extra protection

This is my instalation of Ubuntu 8.04 in my Eee PC 901.

Its in portuguese =P

I did put some extra protection. If someone steals my Eee PC he'll need to break 3 passwords to get the system to work.
And you can not format it because you need the BIOS admin password wich is different from the BIOS user password. So, its very hard to use the system if you dont know te password. Of course I will not tell them to anyone.
This is the powa of Open Source.

Sorry for the quality =\
