Virtual machines Innotek VirtualBox :-)
I loaded Innotek VirtualBox via the Mint software portal last night.
30 minutes later I had a virtual machine set up running Mepis Linux within a virtual box on the Pc running Mint Linux.
Most Impressed I am :-) totally mind sucked.

I've just moved my main PC (i.e. the family's box) to Kubuntu 7.04. Everything's tickerty-boo apart from my youngest son's
online diabetes upload software.
It'll only upload via a serial port in Internet Explorer. I've tried getting Konqueror to pretent to be IE6 on XP and the site let's
me in but it's riddled with IE only javascript cock-ups. it's so frustrating as the upload control is cross platform Java and the results
are in cross platform PDF's.
Anyway, USB->Serial convertor and VirtualBox running an old copy of XP does the trick superbly.
I've tried Windows 98 too and that's fine. I'm very tempted to rummage around for a copy of 3.11 so I can despise it from my loft
Linux viewpoint. 
Hooray for Linux, Boo to Medtronic!
Cheers,
Neil.
Your sort make me sick
