   I ran it up too.  Not sure what caused me to try it, but heck, add one to   
   ventoy and try.   
   I too found it one of the easier to get up and running.  I have some custom   
   themes and   
   icons here in Mint and installed theme there.  That was part of my test   
   scenario.   
      
   No persistence so I just played for an hour or so.  Still it's fun to see some   
   of the OSes   
   that people make.
