   Wow, wasn't really expecting a response, let alone three! :-))

   Yes, Im running the 64-Bit version in a VM under Mageia5 and it works     
   extremely well, as does the 32-Bit version.   
      
   Just to bring you up to speed, OpenXP "died" many years ago(circa 2008)     
   and lay dormant until late 2013 when, much to my surprise(and joy), a     
   German chappie re-started development. Since then, there have been many     
   new releases as the "old" code was somewhat buggy. The biggest new feature     
   so far is support for SSL/TLS encrypted connections. The Fido side of     
   things has had no work done on it simply because it didn't need it ;-)   
      
   The new project is hosted on SourceForge:   
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/openxp5   
      
   I'm currently knocking up a simple Web site:   
   http://openxp.uk   
      
   After many years away from Fido, it's so *very* refreshing to see that     
   there's still a bit of interest and my dearest wish is to see it make a     
   comeback. Thanks for all your replies guys.   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
