I can't comment on the stability of RPCEmu because I've
never got it to point where I could rely on it to be my
main machine. For me, VRPC is very reliable. Once in a blue
moon cmos.ram gets corrupted but this is easily recognised
and corrected.

Thanks to colleagues in the Midlands User Group, I have
instructions on how to install it onto Linux. When I find
the time I shall see how I get on with it but, while I have
VRPC working well, it will remain an academic exercise.
