I remember that at that option, it told me there was no internet hardware installed* - so as I've seen THAT before, I figgered I could just install it later. * it was - I had it plugged into the rear USB holes, not the front of the tower ones. But with NO WiFi, there's no repositories either. Screwed --- huh!?! I may have to break out my Alpha Unit - it works on EVERYthing.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1456836	2018-12-26 07:40:00	Urgrle! AND -- do I actually need a USER? I use the same password for all my latest trials and tribulations - so there's NO messing THAT up at least! I fear not using the same silly password, since there's never anyone else in this room and if they were in here - I don't have any fear of anything they could find on my 'puter - even IF there was anything interesting - except for present company, that is! Youse guys is great. Yeah, you need to have at least one normal user account in Linux. You really shouldn't be "root" all the time as it makes the system less secure and more easily borked if you make a mistake. I think Windows does the same.	Rod J (451)
1456837	2018-12-26 08:41:00	Wow! I just plugged in the Alpha Unit and everything's starting to come together. I've got dependencies being investigated and I guess repositories are being assigned - etc. That Alpha Unit is the best I've ever found. I WANT to use my other Wisky USB-WiFi sticks - but Linux doesn't seem to like them - for the most part! Linux Mint ran with it from the get-go though. That's the Wisky Unit, not the Alpha Unit. I've gotta get another Wisky. Even my Raspberry Pi likes the Alpha and won't run on the Wisky. Go figger. Well -- lessee where this goes - I'm tired and sleep beckons.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1456838	2018-12-26 08:46:00	Did you get a desktop gui installed yet or are you still working from the command line? If you aren't sure if there is a desktop installed try "startx" from the prompt.	Rod J (451)
1456839	2018-12-26 09:06:00	I think it got a whole slug of updates and the extras I asked for and now it's installing them. This'll take a bit of time and I may just leave it until morning and see what happened for the remainder of the night. I'm sure it can wait patiently for me - after all - I am an APEX consumer!

1456840	2018-12-26 09:09:00	I am sure that I got the gui to run for me - I opted for the Gnome desktop and it brightened up all the options and I took a few - well ---> more than a few really. Do I really need the Card-thing? I got it anyway. This is all because of the Alpha Unit - phewee!	SurferJoe46 (51)
1456841	2018-12-26 09:12:00	I believe that I'd like to be able to add the drivers that I have on a mini-disc for the Wisky Unit. I believe that IF I don't try to add new kernals or update to Beta Tester or something goofier than I normally do - I should be able to get it up-n-running in maybe just a half-dozen tries or so. I'll need to learn the syntax for this new system - YUM seems to be something about which I need to contend.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1456842	2018-12-26 09:28:00	Yum ... yeah, I've heard of it but have no knowledge about it. It's another package manager I believe using the RPM package system. CentOS is certainly an enterprise version of Linux as Wainui mentioned. I'm just looking at the Distrowatch page for it now: distrowatch.com	Rod J (451)
1456843	2018-12-26 17:36:00	OK --- Happy! Happy! Happy! I'm in and running on CentOS . It sure took a long time to get and install all the updates - plus I deleted all the HP stuff sine I don't have a Hewlet Packard anything . Just Canon . . . . which I KNOW is problematic for a L-based system . OK - is there a way to run Pithos on CentOS? Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy! Happy!

1456844	2018-12-26 17:40:00	OK - I went to get Pithos downloaded and installed - and CentOS is very chatty and uses a LOT of my Alpha WiFi . . . but . . . . I've got this happened: [jvreeland@localhost ~]$ flatpak remote-add flathub . org/repo/flathub . flatpakrepo" target="_blank">flathub . org [jvreeland@localhost ~]$ flatpak install flathub io . github .
