I am surprised no one has mentioned QEmu as a FOSS alternative yet.

There have been some ideas about this for Linux in the past; Larry Wall
uses Perl to control many appliances within his own home.  I've also
seen several attempts at doing this under Linux, but I don't know of any
one particular project to come to fruition.

Note that the reason why this list has been especially quiet of late is
that the main LUG server hat hosts mailman went for a Burton.  It's in
the process of being fixed though.
