PConMe©

PConMe© is a cool hack of a virtual machine, using Qemu and Qemu manager with Ubuntu 10.10. The project has been designed to be a computing sandbox where young computing enthusiasts can experiment, explore and program without compromising the integrity of expensive hardware.

The device can be copied onto a 4GB+ flash drive and taken wherever the user wants to go. Unlike other 'live installs', with PConMe© reboot isn't necessary, just plug and play. The device architecture also enables internet access and audio, if available on the host machine.

We encourage you to hack this and share what you learn using the discussion forum above. Enjoy.
