It is my understanding that my "old reliable" system is too old to get
VB/VM working on it. I can do everything else on "old reliable" and it
works incredibly much faster, more efficiently, and absolutely without
problems ... whereas every newer distro I have tried has given me fits. I
detest KDE4 and I detest "updates" that inevitably break something. I
just did an "update" on one of my newer boxes and, sure enough after the
"update" the system locked up, the keyboard lights started blinking, and I
had a dickens of a time getting it to boot up. I have tried more than a
dozen different "newer" distros and every time ... EVERY time, that has
brought annoying problems.
Whereas "old reliable" (which I have on three other boxes) NEVER breaks,
NEVER fails me, NEVER causes me any frustrations.
