Debian Lenny and release dates

[Ken O. Burtch]

It's an open source "virtual appliance" tool that allows Linux to run on a 
Windows machine without using a full-blown virtualization system like 
vmware.  Double click "Fedora.bat" and get a Linux console in a DOS 
window.  Configure X and you can run X-Windows applications (like 
the KDE konsole, in which I am typing this email) in Windows.
