I did read tech support hours and made attempts to contact them. It is odd hours I will admit. But it seems like no one is home. I would like to use this system, but cannot figure out how to install VM or windows 10 disk. What's wrong with newbies asking questions? I thought this site would be tolerant of us newbies and I could safely ask a question

I basically want to contact tech support.

I don't think they have tech support exactly.
It seems to be a version of Debian with Virtualbox installed. |

Again, what is your goal? What are you trying to accomplish, and why did you choose this distro? Pretty much ANY version of Linux can run VirtualBox, and you can easily install Windows (or Mac OS, for that matter) within it, with minimal effort, for free. Here's a guide on how to install virtualbox on Linux Mint (probably the easiest distro for new users), and how to install Windows 10 after you get VB installed. Pretty simple. https://www.pcsteps.com/184-install-...x-mint-ubuntu/ http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/h...albox-on-linux |
I use vmware all of the time for various reasons - on linux and windows. This version seems to imply you can run side-by-side displays-which I would like to experiment with. I just wanted to hear from anyone if they use it or not-pros and cons....

Do you have any specific questions about installation or operation? Linux distros don't typically offer one-on-one tech support. Robolinux claims to but apparently doesn't. So, if you have some specific question regarding installation or operation, ask it.

Maybe everyone answering the OP should look at; How to Answer a Linux Question <- 'Simon Bridge's excellent composition to aid us in good informational exchanges'
Most of you always answer with the; How to Ask Questions the Smart Way or some form of it. We as respondents must be a little more gentler with our response(s) to new users. We as members have agreed to abide by the LQ Rules so please pay attention to those rules. Quote:

If you've used vmware then you should know about virtualbox.
Virtualbox is an emulator. It emulates a physical computer in software. Almost everyone on this site has used an emulator. You can easily download Debian and install Virtualbox. The client OS however is up to you. Sooo, robolinux is debian with virtualbox. |

rusty377,
See post #2: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...lp-4175597462/ Also: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...se-4175557585/ As others have advised: 1. Just use Debian, or any other Linux distro of your choice. 2. Install VirtualBox in above distro. 3. Use one of the recommended guides listed above to install Windows inside VirtualBox. |
