| 1417266 | 2016-03-11 21:26:00 | Great to see you back SJ. I think we all really feared the worst for you as I remember you were having some health problems earlier. We have missed your expertise on things mechanical, but luckily fridges treadmills and new tyres haven't featured for a while. Welcome to your old stamping ground. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1417267 | 2016-03-11 21:32:00 | I can see by your avatar don't look, there's nothing here . that you haven't aged a day . Nice to see you too . You need some more sunshine though as your Spongebob underwear keeps the tan from happening in places where the sun normally doesn't shine . Now, about those tires (nz= tyres) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

Previously I had used Puppy 6 2015/Ubuntu which had no problems and a very good selection of software. Wine worked as well and ran several MS programs. |

| 1417270 | 2016-03-12 00:24:00 | Welcome back Joe, nice to see you back on deck. Like you, I am trying Linux, using a bootable USB drive on a Netbook. so far I have tried Mint, Lubuntu and Puppy. Mint is my choice but I don't want to install it at present, which means I can't Save email programs and passwords etc. Puppy would be ideal as I can Save, but I am having trouble connecting for WiFi. Being an Old Codger I struggle at times, but am finding Linux very interesting. I will follow your progress with interest. |

| 1417271 | 2016-03-12 00:34:00 | Let's form a club . . . . all I get on Linux/Puppy forums is being ignored or insulted . Yeah - I noticed that the Packet Mgr fouls up . I tried to get a file handler and it was going along swell, then it told me that I had to do some-thing-or-other with a line of code that was indecipherable . I heard that Mint had a hack problem and it was suggested to wait a while - like a few weeks until it was cleared up . It may be OK by now, but there was a cut-off date and any distro downloads after that date were suspect . In Puppy, I can see the Windoze files and actually pull them up and use them as I see fit - not knowing for sure if I do or don't have WINE installed . It just seems to work, although I haven't tried to actually RUN a Windoze program . I hear - mind you, just HEAR that Linux/Zorin is the cat's meow if you're coming out of a Windoze environment for the first time . I have a few dnlds of it on USBs, 32 & 64bit versions and they won't actually instal in anything I own - so I dunnow at the mo . I'll wait a few days and try again . |
