      Hello Tony!   
      
   20 Jan 18 09:03, you wrote to me:   
      
    TL> Have to be clear. :)   
      
   If you say free software, that is very clear to me. It is no cost. I am   
   probably one of the few in the Linux arena who doesn't care about source code   
   and/or open source.   
      
   I am here for free software, period. I use nVIdia OEM drivers, the community   
   based ones are junk. I use ESXi free, Player free. The Linux VM Love child is   
   junk, has all sorts of problems doing things that VMWare does with out issue,   
   example USB. Nothing but grief and trouble. Or even nested VM ie: Player   
   running ESXi. Why would you do something like that. Its a good way to try   
   things out before putting it to hardware. As a test righ its fine. A certain VM   
    maker is blocking this on purpose.   
      
   All of the above is free, same with the Sun JAVA system. I always used it, and   
   actually I had software that would not run on that stupid IceTea or what ever   
   java thing. I think they rewrote when Sun (Yes I know its oracle, I refuse to   
   accept that!) pushed to merge the junk version and V8. I've not used that piece   
    of software in a while.
