Hi All,
After three days cleaning up my computer, having downloaded a funky copy of Anaconda Python, I was hoping to get addresses for Anaconda that are known to be legit and or legit downloads for virtual boxes, so that I can install Anaconda in the box and just shut it down if there is a problem. EDIT: I mean if someone has a link to a specific site for either or both of these that the know is legit/clean.
Thanks.
