Thank you. You know the old saying "the hurrieder I go...the behinder I get"? Well I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to become a functional member off the Ubuntu One forum as a starting point. I went through all of their steps (becoming a member as well as setting up an account which are two different things requiring the same user name and password). Apparently gMail can be a problem. So they tell you if you have a problem to contact the Administrator but then in order to contact the Admin you are required to be a full-fledged Member which I'm not...but trying to be. Lord, it should not be this difficult!
What I'm looking at is all the ins-and-outs of a Type 2 HyperViser. A software that can be loaded onto a fresh drive but which will allow multiple 'instances' of all kinds of OS's to be loaded onto into this type of private 'cloud' rather than the hardware of the computer. What do you know about this work-around? It may be called VMWare but I understand even MicroSoft offers such a hypervisor software. Only one HD actually loaded onto the computer but with instant access to all of the instances of OS's your heart might desire accessible much like opening a file. It sounds interesting to me and less threatening. Your thoughts?
