    Sure, but I prefer running bare metal also I then can move it around between various computers. Each one is used a regular system, just different purposes. So, running in a virtual machine doesn’t make much sense for me. I’ll use nothing but openbsd for a week, then I’ll swap over to arch to play some games, then I go into gentoo or something else for whatever other task I’m feeling.

      Gotcha! No worries, I just thought I’d mention it since some people don’t seem to even know that’s an option.

        It’s all good it’s definitely a good option, I’ve done it before. I also just get a level of amusement out of swapping sticks out. Gives me the same feeling as swapping out floppies for different software.

          Oh someone who remembers floppies… Yeah those were the days, things were a lot easier back then.
