Since the end is near (at least according to Microsoft) for Windows Vista, 7, & 8.0 system I decided to setup a Linux system to mess around with so that I am not jumping into the deep end of the pool if I ever decided to leave Windows. I selected Fedora OS x64 Mate Spin. Some extremely basic info about the computer: 2 monitors (One for the Linux Desktop and the 2ed for a Windows VM) 16GB Ram 4gb nvidia graphics card CD/DVD Read/Write 2TB Hard drive Software Installed: All the default Linux software packages (LibreOffice, claw mail, Firefox the usual) Wine - to allow me to run small windows programs Virtual Box - Run a Windows VM so I can watch Hulu it's a HAL issue VM Ware player - Broken at the moment Samba - Connect to windows share Not much, but if fits my needs. Any thoughts opinions any potential enhancements post below.
