For the most part, bug triage doesn't require so much that it will
kill your desktop. If something happens, it's generally repairable.
Just ask for help.
I'm still thinking separate system, just for the safety margin. Back when
I was running Mint on my other (now dead) desktop, an update made it so it
didn't even boot.
I do have a spare system, but it's really old (550MHz, 192MB of RAM, 2GB
disk), so not sure if it would even run a current version of Linux.
You MIGHT be able to get away with Lubuntu on it, but I'm thinking
probably not. I've got a Dell I could give you if you're super serious
about it.
What about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ?
I'm so new to actually contributing to free software, I'm not sure I can
say "super serious" at this point. However, if you would send me the specs
on that Dell, I might be interested if you want to sell it. Or maybe I
should just buy a hard drive for my other desktop if anyone has a spare.
You're welcome to email me directly if this is off topic from the mailing
list. I may be going afk for a bit, but I'm sure to catch up by the end of
the week, if not sooner.
Thanks,
Patrick
