<p><b>Q: What are the benefits of this Application Database?</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>A:</b> The Application database benefits both Wine developers and users.
It lets Wine developers know which applications the community most wants to
see working. And it lets Wine user know beforehand if their application will
work in Wine, and also what are the tricks to get it working best.<p>
<p><b>A:</b> QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.<br>
When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.<br>
When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.<p>

<h3>General help on creating a new entry</h3>
<p>
This page gives basic information on how to add a new entry.
</p>
<p>
In this new version of the operating system support list, all entries will be checked by an administrator before becoming public.<br>
Any entry sent that violates these guidelines will be rejected.
</p>
<h4>What are you expected to indicate</h4>
<ul>
<li>
What you have tested and works.<br>
This is, you must indicate what graphics cards did you use, command line parameters, special hacks, network cards and sound cards.
</li>
<li>
If the operating system does not include a driver, or it is not available at all, you MUST NOT consider the emulated device is not working.<br>
You MUST consider it is not working when a driver is avaiable, it is known that works with real devices, and it is not working with the emulated device.</li>
<li>
If you test a Linux you must indicate the base distribution and revision.<br>
If your distribution has updated the Linux kernel version without changing the distribution revision, that change and new version MUST be indicated in test comments.</li>
<li>
You MUST take on account that some operating system version have a change name from the real operating system name.<br>
Examples following:<br>
<ul>
<li>Windows NT (operating system name) has following name changes: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Windows 7</li>
<li>OS/2 (operating system name) has following name changes: OS/2 Warp, eComStation</li>
<li>BeOS (operating system name) has following name changes: BeOS, BeIA, Zeta</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
You SHOULD take on account that some operating system's name change is enough justify to consider them different operating systems.<br>
For example, while NeXTStep, OpenStep, Rhapsody and Mac OS X are just evolutions of the same operating system, heavy changes in kernel, API and developer justify them to be different operating systems.</li>
<li>
You SHOULD also take on account that some operating systems are just called in a variety of names in the same time period, without a real reason for that.<br>
For example, AmigaOS, Amiga Workbench and Commodore Workbench, all do refer to the exact same operating system, and by convention, only one name will be used in the entries.
</li>
<li>
Clones (AmigaOS vs MorphOS), reworks (BeOS vs Haiku), distributions (Debian Linux vs Gentoo Linux), kernels (Debian Linux vs Debian Hurd) and open source editions (Darwin vs Mac OS X or Solaris vs OpenSolaris) ARE different operating systems and MUST be reflected as so in the entries.
</ul>
<h4>If it fails</h4>
<ul>
<li>
You MUST include a screenshot of the operating system failing.<br>
Screenshot of QEMU crashing is not enough, neither welcome.<br>
If the operating system makes QEMU crash without showing a message, DO NOT include a screenshot.
</li>
<li>
You MUST send a message to the developers mailing list about the fail.<br>
The developers cannot check on a timely basis the support list, and will miss the fail if you do not do so.
</ul>
<p>If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on <a href="mailto:natalia@claunia.com">natalia@claunia.com</a>.</p>
