    I’ll read up on it myself, but can virtual box run a windows instance from inside my Linux partition? I’ve never done any virtualization but that would be about the only thing from windows that would be useful. Just so I could use our excel doc to do billhead.

      That’s the whole point.

      I joke it runs faster than on bare metal but because you don’t use it for everything and can in fact have a fresh install for each program it probably does.

        Thanks, I appreciate it. I just never needed to do it before but I’m getting to the point that it would be very useful for me. 🙏
