Creating virtual machines with VirtualBox is another way to get a Linux OS to run Leo/Sagemath on. They never run quite as smoothly as when installed directly on the computer but they can be very workable.
BTW, I consistently notice that LeoPyRef opens *much* more quickly on Linux than Windows. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. It will be true for other outlines but LeoPyRef is the biggest and most complex outline that most of us will be opening.
