Thank you for the very welcome contribution!<br>
<br>
I run my Linux systems on Fedora and Debian. Mostly Fedora. I tend
to stick with older versions, but it's no problem to crank up yet
another VM with with the latest release or .-1 for this. I don't
think you want to <br>
<br>
I use VirtualBox for the VMs - mostly hosted on an x86-64 server,
but my windoze notebook has one for when I travel. <br>
<br>
I run Debian on RPis - but doubt I'll put SimH on one of those.
Other folks do.<br>
<br>
I know there are other users who run SimH under everything from
Android phones to Tru64 Unix...<br>
<br>
Just about every DEC network-capable OS is run here - from
TOPS-10/20 to RT-11. <br>
