Hi All,

I just thought I'd mention VirtualBox:

http://www.virtualbox.org/

I'm experimenting with it now, creating a Fedora 8 virtual machine and
probably will create an Ubuntu virtual machine on this Windows XP
computer I'm trying out.  I figured it might be helpful for Linux to
be able to try releases and what not  with other distro's.  One thing
I had thought about in the past was building a very barebones set of
Linux distro images for each Csound release for future proofing, so
that in the future we could always have a full working virtual machine
image to run older versions of Csound.  The idea is that should for
some reason something change, one could always use one of the virtual
machine images to run with your CSD.  It'd be a way to guarantee
long-term longevity to our artistic work, which is of high interest to
me.

There are other virtualization software available like qemu,
parallels, and vmware, but I tried this one today out of reading that
Sun purchased the company behind VirtualBox and reading about it, it
seemed easy to use (and it is!).

Thanks!
steven
