My current home Bacula system is so terribly ancient that I've just 
got to get rid of it, but no pre-compiled updates are available for 
Windows.  So it looks like my best bet to is to create a VirtualBox 
VM (on my Win8.1 host) and load some flavor of *nix on it and install 
the appropriate binaries and run the system from there.

However, since I'm barely conversant with *nix OSes in general (and 
none specifically), I'd like a recommendation on which (free) OS to 
use.  I'd like it to be easy to acquire and set up both the OS and 
the latest community Bacula binaries so it doesn't strain my limited 
technical skills.  It would also be best if that OS wasn't prone to 
having compatibility issues that I see mentioned from time to 
time.  I'll be backing up to disk rather than tape, so that should 
simplify things a bit.  I presume that MySQL would still be a good DB 
choice to use in whichever OS I end up with?

So has anyone got a recommendation (and perhaps some download links) for me?
