   That was me.  I was speaking of my Puppy Linux vBox system, which is the   
   intended target system (currently using CM II).  However initial source   
   compiling tests will be conducted on a non-Fido Puppy with 512Mb RAM; I call   
   it a 'shadow' system, as it will do nothing more than process "a   
   -yet-unprocessed" inbound mail passed to it by the current CM II system.   
      
   OTOH, I'm wondering if Nick tried the Pi-3 release of Puppy.[shrug]   
   It's a GUI OS with user apps; disk image is 360Mb.  (When other Puppy versions   
   run from CD, USB and [I presume] micro-SD, the entire OS loads into RAM.  I   
   haven't looked but the Pi-3 version will probably be the same.)  Anyway...   
   that's for him to try if he wants.

   Mmm... I was looking at that this afternoon.  You are quite welcome to   
   complete that first.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
