   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.
