Hi, I don’t happen to know that much about this specific Distro of linux, but may be able to help. For one, what is this based off? For example, Vinux is based off ubuntu, so I can easily select ubuntu as an option in fusion if I want to use Vinux. For me, however, I’ve stayed with mainstream distributions, such as Ubuntu and Debian. The installations for those are perfectly accessible as well.
