That's a wonderful idea, Rich.  I may do that, there are a few reasons I 
wouldn't:  I want the VM at work to be the same OS I use at home.  I may 
not be using Mint at home after version 17, for a couple of reasons:  1. 
 Ubuntu isn't supporting AMD's Radeon drivers and apparently it would 
be a major hack job to get them working. 2. Apparently, they're also not 
supporting anything but systemd.


An FYI for others who don't care about Radeon graphics or systemd,
Mint's upgrade tool doesn't work on the KDE edition--upgrading Mint 17
KDE is not supported:

I've come to like Trinity (the KDE3 fork) and prefer it to "factory" KDE 
going forward, but my home desktop, a backup laptop and my VM are all 
running KDE editions of Mint, so I'm kind of stuck there.
