In theory, plex86 can run any OS that runs on IA-32.  What this means,
in layman's terms is that plex86 can run anything that is designed to
run on a pentium classic.  Whether or not this is true right now is
another issue.  If you wish to try this, I suggest that you get the CVS
revision from about July 31, 2001 off of the CVS server by using the
"cvs -z3 update -APdD"July 31, 2001 12:00am" command.  It will run
really slow, but this is as far as I've been able to verify that it will
work in most all cases (I don't think that the QNX demo disk worked on
this revision though...).  This is because there is a bug in the
protected mode support of the current alpha version.
