I don't know what I mean anymore, I'm old & slow & getting sicker by the day, my Med's & Treatments for the Crohn's Disease + numerous other aliments have been almost doubled & that's starting to take a toll on me I think, my mind isn't right half the time so what can one expect ... When you only get about 2 Hr's sleep a day it's hard to concentration ...
Anyhoot my original question was that I just don't see the point in running VM's, other than getting a few extra Credits from some of the NCI Projects which don't mean a hill of beans really. The VM's take away from the system, at least my thinking thinks they do & I know from past running them that they do slow down Wu's running under the Windows BOINC. Now the VirtualBox I can see running, & have it installed on 3 Win & 3 Linux Box's.
Don't know about the Linux ones (VirtualBox) though, I used the Software Package to install the VirtualBox in Linux. So after taking 4 Hr's to Download the Test4Theory 1.3gb exe (Wireless Box's) the Test4Theory Wu crashed & took all the other running Wu's with it. Don't know what really happened because I wasn't watching it when it happened. I Suspended the other 2 Linux Test4Theory Wu's for now so I can watch them when I restart them. Don't have any problem with Windoze & the VirtualBox's, they seem to run okay ...
I think the problem here with the Linux VB's from reading the Log files for the erred WU:
2013-03-15 10:27:16 (16903): Required extension pack not installed, remote desktop not enabled
not quit sure what pack it needs but I remember when the VB was installing it said something about not installing a pack so will try to reinstall & see if I can pick up on what it needs to run properly ...
I've tried that Wine stuff before & just ended up going out & getting a Bottle of Wine, was a lot easier on my mind ...
