[AccessD] Docker

[Jim Lawrence]

As Ubuntu is working full-time with Microsoft, on all things Linux, it would be more accurate to call it a Windows 10 clone. ;-)

WHAT?! Ubuntu 16.04 is a Windows 8 clone? ;-)

Hi Arthur:

Unfortunately, on Windows 10, without upgrading to at least Professional all
the features like virtual drives and containers are not available.

For me, I am just using Ubuntu Linux...though I would recommend you don't
upgrade to version 16.04 and all the various distros that are built on this
new release, just yet, as there are still a host of driver issues and I
would suspect other "anomalies"...as in all desktops, wait for a few months
of upgrades.

Jim,

Haven't upgraded yet and don't know whether I will. Funds are limited.
Thanks for the links, though.
