Yes they do. I can download the average distro CD in around 6-7 hours, and the average DVD in 11-16 hours. I turn it loose, go to bed, and check on it when I wake up. That's a lot better than the old 33 Kb/s pipes I used to use.

But at least I get the entire system, including most of the available software; I don't have to go buy the software OR the OS.

I checked the md5sum on the Mepis 8 CD and it's OK. I've had Mint 6 installed on the laptop for 2 months now and this is the first trouble it's had. The laptop hasn't given any trouble (but I haven't tried virtualization on it before). Tomorrow I'll start setting VB up on my tower, using Antix-M8 as the host and Mepis as the guest. Then I'll try using the Mint 6 install on the Tower (5 days old) as host with Mepis 8 again as the guest. Then I might try installing Mepis 8 to HD as host and Mint or Antix as guests. Then I can try the process again using Qemu/KVM. Somewhere in there I'll have some kind of answer I can pass on to whoever.

I actually enjoy doing that stuff.
