Hi! Steven,

On Tue, 26 Jun 12, you wrote to me:

I've kind of done that, now.  Not OS/2...

You should.  Get your hands on a copy of VirtualBox (vBox) for Windows, if you
can run it.  Then you can run/experiment with linux distribtions.  vBox will
run various 'live' CD images (.iso files) directly, so you can chop & change
between various flavours of linux.

I used to have a play with linux stuff usually on an old PC.  That was back in
the days when I had a lot of working 'wrecks', scrounged from people or as
family donations to me.  These days I run Ubuntu on both of our home systems,
with each running multiple vBox virtual PCs (about six, of various Windows
OSes & various linux OSes) at a much reduced power drain.  (Radius runs in one
of those vBox PCs, BTW.)

Cheers,
Paul.
