   Nice!  Thank you.  Despite your misgivings on the distribution, I appreciate   
   your recommendation of it.  I have read of other reviews of the OS, but I   
   can't recall when or where I saw them.  :)   
      
   I'm kinda pre-disposed to using a recent Puppy Linux, 6.0.2-something.  I   
   already have a copy and have run it once or twice on two of my machines, just   
   from a USB boot.  It has 'promise', particularly as it supposedly can use   
   Ubuntu packages.   
      
   OTOH, I have a hankering to run Xubuntu but that really depends on what   
   they'll do with the next LTS version due in April.  I've been running their   
   14.04 LTS on & off in a VirtualBox and found it to be "useable".  :)  I intend   
   to hang on to Windows 8 till the X'u '.1' update that might sprout in June, or   
   maybe October.   
      
   I'm happy to give Mint a whirl in a VirtualBox, based on your say-so.  I'm not   
   averse to command line voodoo mumbo-jumbo but your insider knowledge has   
   already given me an 'edge'.  :)  Thank you.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
