VirtualBox
Lately I have been playing with VirtualBox. This is a great piece of software. It allows you to setup virtual computers so you can run multiple operating systems at the same time.You start with a host operating system which in my case is Lucid Puppy 525. I then installed VirtualBox. VB allows you to install many different OS. You can run them one at a time or more than one at a time. It's a very nice way to test a new OS.
What a few of us do, mainly CatDude, Dpup5520, Stripe and myself, we connect via Psip so we can communicate with each other and all test the same OS at the same time. This is a great shared learning experience. As they say, four heads are better than one. This is a great way to test and solve problems and it's also a lot of fun.
Now just to add to this great experience we have a shared DropBox account so we can share information and files. One person drops a file into his local folder and we can all see and share it. This is much better than having to manually upload files to a server so the others can download it or email it to each other.
