There have been some postings on running these under Linux earlier this year. I would very much like to run these on a laptop running Ubuntu but can't get the Virtual Box to work and so have to use a PC with XP but would really like to use the laptop. Any suggestions?

What OS did you install in VirtualBox?

The system runs on Java... You can just run it natively in XP using your web browser (upon installation).

the epc server application is written only for windows, but the client pc's over the network can theoretically run any OS that is able to run java. I only had it semi functional on a linux client but i've heard of others having it fully functional. I never put the effort in to trying harder as the windows box was on the same desk as the linux box and it was simply a case of shifting my hand from one mouse to another so it wasn't that bigger deal ;)

Thanks - the OS is XP. I have discovered that the kernel driver has not been installed so my next job is to try and rectify that and see if it works then.
