<font size=3>Thanks to all for the excellent recommendations. It
looks like I'm still going to have to learn some things about how to put
this together, but you've all given me a great start.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">My current home Bacula system is
so terribly ancient that I've just<br>
got to get rid of it, but no pre-compiled updates are available for<br>
Windows. So it looks like my best bet to is to create a
VirtualBox<br>
VM (on my Win8.1 host) and load some flavor of *nix on it and
install<br>
the appropriate binaries and run the system from there.<br><br>
However, since I'm barely conversant with *nix OSes in general (and<br>
none specifically), I'd like a recommendation on which (free) OS to<br>
use. I'd like it to be easy to acquire and set up both the OS
and<br>
the latest community Bacula binaries so it doesn't strain my limited<br>
technical skills. It would also be best if that OS wasn't prone
to<br>
having compatibility issues that I see mentioned from time to<br>
time. I'll be backing up to disk rather than tape, so that
should<br>
simplify things a bit. I presume that MySQL would still be a good
DB<br>
choice to use in whichever OS I end up with?<br><br>
So has anyone got a recommendation (and perhaps some download links) for
me?<br><br>
