I mentioned earlier about the Linux fanatics, and yes they are out
there, and I'm not one of them. I have said that I keep Windows as
there is one programme that I need it for. But I also love the ease and
simplicity of updates with Linux, none of the huge time-consuming
sessions while Redmond downloads another load of Patches and fixes.
Linux updates take a few minutes, and installing from scratchmaybe half
an hour. The last time I installed Windows anywhere, it took about e
hours, after several update/reboot/update/reboot etc sessions.

Every time I fire up my Mint VM (about once a month) it spends 20-30
minutes downloading stuff.

You must have a very low download speed then....yes?
