Hello everyone,
I've been thinking quite a bit lately about VMs and have come to this semi-conclusion.
Do you have an old cp laying around that you don't use much anymore?
You do? Great! Make it your substitute for a VM.
By using Gparted you can have as many distributions as you hard drive will hold. Just think of all the things you will learn as you use Gparted. It's an excellent way to learn how the partitioning system works on Linux.
You have nothing to 'muck up' by using it as your test machine for any Linux Distro you want to try.
I'm not completely comfortable with using VMs, or any other stuff on my main machine that I use daily for things that need passwords.
Besides that, you will be making that old machine useful again.
Just some thoughts of a 'crusty' old Geezer.
