[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1102300, member: 61091"] happy days are here again! ie new happy days. I installed [B]MX-Linux[/B] 23.4 xfce 4.18 into [B]VMware[/B], and install was a good experience, mini linux refresher. MX has a nice linux feel and running nicely fast. So I'm now thinking my borked Zorin mis-step was for the best. :D The MX install was not perfect, I have a Corsair mechanical keyboard and MX is not listing that device, but blips like this are to be expected for anyone who has ever run linux. Almost part of its charm... and there is an answer for this issue. I just have to find it. (haven't started looking yet...) And I have room to try Fedora again. Also (fwiw) I was considering Ubuntu which says to install it with VirtualBox -- harmonized to be automatic, so I started to install VB and got a scary popup on hardware Host about VB needing to muck-around with Host Network adapters (or whatever) and was not ready to go down that road until I understood what it was doing and possible unintended consequences. Ubuntu has 5-page howto about installing with VB, and never mentioned the Network modification. Surprises are not always good. MX & VMware are happy together so far. :D [/QUOTE]
