           There are two free x86 hardware emulators:
           <ulink url="http://bochs.sourceforge.net"> bochs</ulink>, and 
-          <ulink url="http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/plex86"> plex86</ulink>
-          that allow use of hardware other than x86 to run x86 programs. Both 
-          use the GPL. Bochs is older than plex86, seems to be easier to 
-          install, but plex86 will run faster because plex86 uses a real
-          time binary compiler. The drawback of all emulators is that you
-          need a version of Windows in order to run Windows.

+          Plex86 is the opensource free-software alternative for VMWare,

+          Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator 
+          written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation
+          of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, 
+          bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable 
+          of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, 
+          Windows® 95, DOS, and recently Windows® NT 4.
