However, Bochs does not virtualize, it _emulates_ the IA32 on the instruction level. It's currently the best alternative if you want to take the Hurd for a quick test drive without needing to repartition your hard drive or read complicated installation manuals. + +* [Debian package](http://packages.qa.debian.org/bochs) + +Note that Bochs is quite slow, so installing GNU inside its virtual machine will probably take you a lot of time.

It has network, Xfree86 and the console server installed and configured (X has some problems though).
