Can somebody tell me how to get 3 years compatibility on ALL packages of LINUX and Windows on ONE machine
Hi, What do I do ? I have a machine with 786 MB of RAM. If it was Windows, I could use ALL my purchased packages on it for 3 years --- till the Windows was replaced ------------- I assume. Now, LINUX supporters say, over 3000 packages free.
So, Kubuntu LINUX 8.0.4 is installed on my machine in MAY. Do I download (I did not) 3 DVDS of entire possible packages with that release.
CANONICAL guarantees SECURITY updates for 3 years.
I tried installing UBUNTU 8.10 on my system. IT did not install.
Then I thought ---- let me use VIRTUALBOX. The FAQ on virtualbox license says I can manually install it on as many machines as I want. (On SUN's commercial release too), or I can let each user manually install virtualbox themselves.
So what am I suppossed to do: 1. Install Virtualbox on my LINUX machine (or sorry, is it Windows machine for Windows packages). 2. Install more memory for each version of LINUX and sub-version I wish to run. 3. Tell my developers to forever keep upgrading the software to the latest version (of what may I ask).

I have a machine with 96 MB of RAM - have been happily running mandrake 10 on it for the last 6-7 years. Thinking of upgrading to puppy - it has a USB port. Try puppy. Or DSM.

Hi Erach:
I'm sorry I could not follow your problem very well. Can you please rephrase, and very briefly, your specific queries about virtualbox and linux again?

actually even mandriva2008.1 runs comfortably on 512 MB RAM, so it should zip on 768.
