    MF>>> Are you running a Linux version of OpenXP? How well does it work?   
      
    MF>> Yes, Im running the 64-Bit version in a VM under Mageia5 and it works   
    MF>> extremely well, as does the 32-Bit version.

   4.x.x is the "old" version which is no longer being developed.   
      
    SH> I found the OpenXP 5 to which you refered and downloaded   
    SH> the 64-Bit version. It installed fine and I tried it briefly.   
      
   Excellent! :-)

   If you have any questions(which I'm sure you will), please feel free     
   to ask.   
      
   Other support channels include the newsgroup de.comm.software.crosspoint     
   and, although it's a German newsgroup, posts in English are allowed. I     
   post in there, as does the current OpenXP developer. The newsgroup is also     
   gated to the following Google Group:   
   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/de.comm.sofware.crosspoint   
      
    MF>> The new project is hosted on SourceForge:   
    MF>> https://sourceforge.net/projects/openxp5   
      
    SH> Thank you for providing the link.   
      
   No problem.   
      
    MF>> I'm currently knocking up a simple Web site:   
    MF>> http://openxp.uk   
      
    SH> Thanks. I visited your site and downloaded the documentation for OpenXP   
    SH> from there.   
      
   Please bear in mind that "oxpguide.pdf" is only a basic installation guide     
   to get you started. It includes a FAQ section but as it's quite old, some     
   of the answers may no longer be correct.I really must find the time to     
   update the FAQ section.   
      
   Regards,
