[X4U] Linux on Virtual PC

[Hector Luna]

I used to use Slackware on VPC 6.1. Haven't tried it in 7 yet. 

I did take some doing, some hit and miss loading of drivers to get
networking to boot. I didn't use X to often, but I do recall once
loading Dropline Gnome for Slackware 9. I'm not sure about Fedora,
isn't that the new consumer (read: free) version of Redhat? I don't
know if it is going to autoload what you need. Like I said, I was
using Slackware, versions 8, 9 & 10. And they all worked, but you do
have to do a lot by hand, but then again, if you're using  Slackware,
you kind of expected that going in...
