Yea, one of the Redbooks I used as a rosata stone. I know VM. I don't know Linux. I bought a PC to install Linux on, I used the Redbook during the install process to comprehend what I was doing. Right now, I'm in the www.linux.org/lessons and taking the Linux online course. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting
