The new test release of RPCemu has prompted this Mac user to say that he would like to try this out and to get networking going.

Almost certainly the only way to do both of these is to use Linus for the testing on this Mac. And I wonder if this is the reason for the the above problem, that some versions of Linux are better suited to running RPCemu than others.

Can anyone direct me to a version of Linux that will, at least, run the new test version of RPCemu on a Mac? Please.

(I have run Ubuntu before now on a Mac and within both VMware Fusion and Parallels. But not for a few years now. Totally prepared to try anything else now.)
