      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet 23bfcf33       PID: OpenXP/5.0.64 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Krebs is giving a shoutout to a linux alternative..              "If the experience with Windows XP is any indicator, many of       these older computers will wind up in landfills or else will be       left running in an unpatched state. But if your Windows 10 PC       doesn't have the hardware chops to run Windows 11 and you'd       still like to get some use out of it safely, consider       installing a newbie-friendly version of Linux, like Linux Mint.              Like most modern Linux versions, Mint will run on anything with       a 64-bit CPU that has at least 2GB of memory, although 4GB is       recommended. In other words, it will run on almost any computer       produced in the last decade."              https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/08/microsoft-patch-tuesday-        august-2025-edition/              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 50/22 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 300 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 291/111 292/8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/16       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 5858 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
