hmm, of all the many options, ignoring speed entirely, which ones are
nicest in ways like these?

* minimal effort to get started with it to run a windows program?
* "                                                      to run, say,
ubuntu under debian?
* open source?
* safe -- unlikely to have cross-machine malware or bugs?
* allow cut/paste, pipe/socket, or disk transfer among machines?
* have most flexibility e.g. re working with devices properly?

pardon the probably partly ignorant questions.  i haven't found any
place that answers these compactly.
