Re: Linux

As I said before, my current thinking about Linux is that I could use
something like Connectix, which allows you to run different OSs
simultaneously on the same machine. Then I could add new operating systems,
and keep using my legacy systems until I phase them out.

And I saw Connectix 4.2 for $50 at the J&R Clearance Outlet at 33 Park Row.
