+Thanks for your work.
+
+In any case, today I was able to successfully install and run a Fedora VM on my
+laptop (which is more underpowered than the desktop machine), although I did a
+few things differently like using a fixed-size VBox disk image and installing a
+32-bit system. After that, and after installing some packages, I was able to
+prepare a Fedora-friendly freecell-solver .src.rpm and submitted it here:
+
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885346
+
+Another thing I considered doing in the Fedora VM was an install of the Oracle
+RDBMS (which I was told was free for development purposes) and play with it
+a little. Not sure I'll do that, but I might.
