I'm clarifying that VMware is different to DOSEMU. Under VMware you can run
real mode MS-DOS 6.22 or Win9x etc or OS/2. But if you enjoy the challenge
of running the Linux port of Maximus go ahead. I think people who use Linux
are a bunch of massochists :)

If you've got a box with 512 mb ram VMware should work well.
