Linux will wait for the new day.

1439496 2017-09-22 06:08:00 . . . . . also . . . . . . I found the version (distro) for Linux by letting the digital clock screensaver run . It reports:

Linux 2 . 6 . 28-11 generic . . . . . . . . . . . whatever that means!

1439498 2017-09-22 08:54:00 My, my! The days surely pass rapidly, don't they? Seems like only yesterday that I got that distro .

So, do I dump it . . . . . . . or learn Linux line code the hard way by bringing it up to date? I opt for burning it down, format the hdd and start fresh .

I have terrible bad experiences with burning an . iso .

There are lots of friends to whom I've gifted with their own 24 place settings of beautiful chrome coasters . These coasters also are well received at funerals, brises, AA meetings, graduation from kindergarten or targets for indoor pistol ranges .

In the spring I also give away " Magic Chrome Bird Chaser Discs" (aka: MCB/CDs) - in my neighborhood) they can hang from their fruit trees to protect their crops .

And yet I have a large supply of them that are return-gifted to me for all sorts of holidays of which I am not privy: 'National Dessert Fork Day' (which I believe to be a British high holy day of obligation) - or the annual 'Be Kind To Your Pet Skinks' day - and not-to-be-forgotten, the: 'What Did Billie-Joe McAllister Really Throw Off The Tallahatchie Bridge?` Debating Society & Fan Club meeting for unmarried shut-ins .

If you get yourself a USB flash drive you could use either Unetbootin or Rufus
to make a bootable USB installer, assuming your machine can boot to USB devices.
