Very well said Kate. Theres a reason I don't allow a windows box to keep
its windows install more than a day or so, any longer and my patience
gets exchanged for a 16 lb maul to put its hard drive out of its misery.
Or a linux dvd gets put in along with a $40 60 gig SSD, getting a
machine thats obviously faster, and its by by windows, it has not been
good knowing you. Life for me at least, is not long enough to put up
with that crappy software.
FWIW, I ran PCLOS for a while, but if what you need is not in the repo,
forget about asking for it. Just a warning, but thats why I had to bail
to Debian. I can usually get what I need. They, like others are short of
man power, but I've not been told to go pound sand either.
Take care Kate.

Hi
Gene!
It's likely your problem with pclos was it was 32bit.
pclos doesn't support 32bit anymore, not for a long time.
I think since 2015 or 16.
I have me test machines, data recovery machines, laptops and server all
running Ali's Big Daddy rolls. It works great.
The only thing I don't like and it happens TDE under any distro. It's the
constant reloading of the gui when I install software. I don't understand why
it does that. Bug?

Cheers Doc & deloptes, well observed, well said.
Several mates went out of business supporting Vista,
Now, a few more are close to closing because of win10.
All I get at the shop are people bring in there machines to have data
recovered after win8/10 died during an update (not so much win7).
I don't know how MS stays in business.
The os on this laptop, that I'm writing this email on, will be retired
soon for Alistair Izzard's big daddy roll of PCLOS 64bit. Thank you
very much Ali and to all.
The OS is Ark Linux 2008. It's more than 10 years old and it has
served me well, great infact. It took 7 years to find a replacement.
Any linux, even a bad one, is always better than the best windows
edition (or OSX but not to the same shocking degree).

If you are a "luck" person and you run
Windooz10, then you find
that this multi gadget protocol is broken since ~ 1 year ... hail
progress!
don't know why corp is doing windows - I think it is pure burning of
money ... I got one v10 few months ago and it is still laying on my
desk unused.
But I have no idea how this is working with cameras there. The corp
is paying for it to stay there on the desk and do some work. It is
doing it more or less good on its own. I alaways have to repeat
myself what Linuz Torvald said about it - something like a very good
company, but the problem is they make crappy software.
So ... times go by and some things never change - amazing.
At least on *nix you can fix stuff like this,
even when redhat
tries hard to break it.
Well for the Windows, you have the windows admin - a person that
should be admired for the skill to support "crappy software" :) and
keep the universe in balance :)
Honestly ... no idea how those guys have the patience. I had to
factory restore one PC lately for a friend, because it got unusable
after 6y of use ... I think it took 8h or more to install all the
updates or at least to try to ... with numerous reboots in between.
I have not done this for years and it was impressive experience. In
the mean time I could do a lot of work on the linux PC that was
installed 15y ago. Amazing!
