what operating systems are you running on utm? I've tried it, and for some it's great, for others, usually one of the bsd's, there's always some small problem. And the gui feels kind of incomplete. Weirdly, virtualbox on

Allagash? Sam Adams? Budweiser (they have in operation in NH iirc). Smuttynose in NH? I feel like there are breweries across new england that if they stopped tomorrow would affect a lot of people, but maybe on a smaller scale. Of course peo
