The [[wikipedia:QEMU|QEMU]] emulation environment, including the accelerators kqemu and kvm, lets you run a variety of software on your computer in a protected environment. This includes software that is incompatible with your operating system, and software for different processors. Other options are [[VirtualBox]] (Free Software) and VMWare, commercial software with a no-cost runtime version.

The key combination Ctl-Alt-2 (not F2) transfers you from your running virtual machine to the qemu command line.
