keep my hand in, to know what's out there), but at the moment I have a lot of
other more pressing concerns, and besides, I like my Devuan system.
I have some X61 for this purpose. It's nice to run distos on real hardware, you
don't get the "emulator"-feeling. Just the real stuff with real problems :)

For the
present, I must try to limit myself to keeping things that will
actually fit inside my living space; otherwise, there will be nowhere for
me to rest my head at night.

If I could figure out how to get VirtualBox working in OpenSuSE I'd use
that to run other OS images, but so far my inability to install some of its
components has me stymied.

As somebody else wrote already (please pardon my faulty memory here!),
Debian/Devuan has a rather steep learning, especially for one such as myself
who isn't suited to technical work by either temperament or job requirements;
but once we learn how to get it to behave as we want, we have freedom.
Nik makes BSD sound interesting, and I would like to explore Slackware some
more, and there are others, as well; but at the moment I don't need to change
horses, and there is no hurry.
