That sounds VERY attractive, but at this stage of the game I don't have the first clue how to begin. I expect I do have the resources; I'm running on a Dell Inspiron laptop with a 2Gz dual core Pentium CPU and 4G of RAM. > An additional advantage is that I can access TB! from any machine on my > LAN, via the RDP server built into VirtualBox.

And maybe it would run some apps I'd like to keep which (according to the Wine community) do NOT run in Wine. I really need to be able to run Corel, too; Inkscape does a lot, but not everything I need. Where Linux is concerned, I am truly 'only an egg'. I will eventually get up to speed, but I don't suppose it will happen overnight. Thank you for offering another option, though. I am happy to run with native applications if they can use my data, but there are some things that just don't seem to be available, so it will be necessary to keep some Win apps. I'll keep this, and I may come back to you.
