There are a bunch of videos on u-toob that chronicle the setup and maintenance of virtual desktops. There are several “flavors” including Microsoft’s Virtual Desktop, VMware, and Oracle’s Virtualbox (to name a few).
I run VMware at work and Virtualbox on my laptop.
Oh, and there are several FReepers who appear to work with VM’s as a part of their jobs so there’s always a wealth of free advice!
Thanks a bunch, rockrr! I’ll look into that.
