Humm, site just went down - I hope we didn't break it!!

Sorry, now you've lost me; I said I'd much to learn :) "4 vm"?? My VM experience amounts to no more than the Oracle VM VirtualBox running on a Linux Deb based OS. I don't usually bother with a VM, I just fresh install a basic Linux Deb OS and take it from there, adding whatever services I need, for the project in hand.

i have two ways to go. your way of course and i run a windows 10 hyperv machine the demo never expires somehow. on the hyperv i spin up linux distros and go from there. i like the easy system snapshot in hyperv. it takes a long time if you mess up a linux bare metal setup to get going again. with the hyperv i can return to the last working snapshot easy. also i like having the 1 core small server possibility to run like very small tasks. i think there are a million ways to have fun.

Ah, I see what you're driving at. I use the 'Snapshot' feature with OVM, as and when I upgrade MyNode, so that I can roll back if needs be. Good call, ty. I'll set up my dev environment in that way.

Btw, have you used Proxmox? Would that be a better option than OVM?

I have not tried those. But Proxmox looks worth a try. Active project and kernel based vm. Give it a try its your denvelopment machine. Let me know when tested.

Yeah, I'll have at it. I did try Proxmox a while back, but it seemed overkill for what I needed at that time, also it seemed to be a steep learning curve, so I reverted to what I know. Thanks for your time and advice. Peace.
