G'day there Mario & Bruce,

    Just be aware that the free version, titled OSE, can't access USB 
ports. You need a paid version for that. It has the advantage of being 
in the repos & is installed automagically from apt or synaptic.

    I use it to run XP on my 8.04 system and have had no problems that I 
haven't caused myself :)

See ya

Ken
