Hi Folks:
If you want a full TDE integrated MX 21, please let me know. I have a
remastered version which is my daily desktop. I also have LXDE, Gnome,
xfce, and others.
Thanks,
John

I like the propaganda of this one, but its a UEFI install, something I've
so far refused to enable. It too much like the camel sticking it head
into the tent, pretty soon only M$ stuff will work. Or M$ decides it
won't work, killing 3/4ths of the machines on the planet. BG and I have
had our differences but he made a mistake when he called me a pirate in
the early days of NT-3.51. NT-3.51 had a habit of its housekeeping disk
checker deleting the main .dll library so you had to buy a new copy of
NT-3.51 for around $400 in order to recover. I had it happen to 2
machines at about the same age. Draw your own conclusions.
