There are no virtual options for DOS, at least not for running virtuals 
under DOS.  A virtual machine is one operating system which runs in an 
emulated hardware environment under another operating system.  Linux and 
Windows can run virtual  DOS machines, but DOS can not run virtual 
anythings.

Now, for DOS under Linux, DOSEmu is probably a better solution than 
virtualization.

What do you mean by "duo processor"?  If you are talking about multiple 
core processors, those have nothing to do with duel boot (duel not duo).

Duel boot, is when you can boot into one of many operating systems which 
are installed on your machine, usually in separate hard drive partitions, 
or on separate hard drives.  That has no connection what ever, either to 
multiple processors, multiple cored processors, or duo anythings.

Again, what is this "duo" processor, and why do you need it?
