Switch to Ubuntu or something? 8-O -- //Sorin

It's more time-consuming than hard to build a virtual machine these days, and it's not even that time-consuming. Is there a distro that already has what you want all packaged up? Run it in a VM. Take a snapshot first if you want to try something potentially system-breaking or that's going to spew files everywhere. On a single-user machine, the performance should be within a few percent of running on the bare metal. So, if you test drive some beta software and it doesn't perform well on a VM, it's probably not going to be much better running on a same-spec physical machine. NB: I administer several hundred virtual desktops, so I chugged rather than sipped the virtualization Kool-Aid. :-) -- -Chris
