  1. Hi There,

    Thanks for the great write-up. I intend on using the Fedora OS through Virtual Box. Would I encounter any possible configuration gotchas or issues? I understand the latest OS version is now Fedora Workstation 31, I intend on trying this with my custom built Desktop that is at least about 5 years old!
