Linux should be immune simply because it doesn't use VME.



Windows doesn't use it either. It's not possible to use it on a processor running in long mode except within a virtual machine (or by putting the processor into actual protected mode).


What if you run DOS in a Virtual container though?


You can use 16 bit Win 3.1 apps on 64 bit Linux with Wine.


I think dosemu does?


DOSEMU uses virtual 8086 mode but not VME. The Linux kernel never bothered implementing VME.
