      Hey Nicholas!               NB> At this point I'm going for ease of use until I can create my own        NB> Linux.              Understood. Back when I started it was Slackware. I still have the first 4       CD boxed set from Walnut Creek that became the basis for the first custom       build on an Acer laptop (Pentium MMX - 150MHz) and then later on a 486 Toshiba       laptop, both of which nobody could get to work and thus were abandoned back in       ~1996-ish. Once I got them working the respective owners wanted them back.        Go figure eh? After that it was zip disk installs and then pcmcia flash disks       that caught my attention and definetly required custom root/boots. Same with       usb flash disks later on that I customized a ttylinux that I called "Flash       ttylinux of the 21st Century". That would have been ~2001. After that pure       64-bit systems grabbed my attention which brings me up to today.               NB> One nobody else has.              Right. Been there, done that. ;-)              Life is good,       Maurice              ... Don't cry for me I have vi.       --- GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Little Mikey's Brain - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001)    |
