That was my very first post to any mailing list ever in my entire
life. Please forgive me just this once.....

Thank you for the list Greg, I need to start using 6 again. I was
aware of XEN and the PAE kernel but that is about it. 2, 3, and 4 I
will have to try out. I do not know about 2 and 3 I usually try to
stay away from most software that starts with a K. The only thing I
could Google on KEMU was [King Edward Medical University].
