That's a really technical explanation. Could you explain in plain English what 
you do? None of my employees who also read this list understand VPN for

Here's an example of plain English at this level:. I use SuSe 11.0, nfs and 
NIS to work on openoffice. We produce leaflets and and scans for t.shirts Oh 
and  flyers to put under windscreen wipers. Could virtual box improve my 
turnover?
