Hello AMMRL,
Our AVANCE II computer died and I’m trying to replace it.
At the suggestions of others, I’ve started down the route of setting up
VirtualBox on our Windows 11 machine, so I can create a CentOS 5 VM to run
TopSpin 2.1. It’s a “two steps forward, one step back” process - for
example, I can install CentOS 5, but doing an update of the (non-Bruker)
packages requires a workaround.
Before I go too far down this path, I thought I’d ask the collective wisdom -
what have others done here? Are there newer Linux OSs that could work here?
Using Windows seems to rely on needing an NFS server that I cannot seem to find.
Our system could in theory support TopSpin 3.2 so I’d be open an option
that required me to use 3.2 as well.
Thanks for your time,
Sameer
