   How much RAM does the old Pet have, Mike?   
      
   I've been enjoying a Lubuntu/32 VirtalBox VM for the last month or more.  At   
   least one reviewer remarked that it would probably be fine in 512Mb.  My VM is   
   allowed a 1Gb but rarely exceeds 300Mb in a Htop reporter.  It's running my   
   main Fidonet node: 2x binkD tasks, FMail/lnx beta tosser, SAMBA etc.  With a   
   real GUI if you want it.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
