unnerstamd.  but all the vms on my laptop are ubuntu and debian or win7.
win7 is out as paul gave no destructions for it.  so i have to install a
red hat or suse vm, which i am trying to do.  but i am having real fun
finding the damned iso images for red hat.  i love sites which think of
themselves as a test.

i assume i will get to that later in paul's instructions.  one step at a
time.
