Good thing by then I'll hopefully have upgraded computer, again, and be on the Mint train (or whatever distro tickles my fancy). I definitely gotta get on trying out a few on my backlog of distros to try on a VM before then.

While you certainly can run a Linux distro on a VM, why not just run a bootable flash drive with your distro of choice?

Personal preference. Plus, the only spare thumb drive I have is missing the protective case that shields the actual memory components.
