 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).

 Kate 
 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?

 Kate
  No clue my dear girl Kate. Best I could do would still be a WAG. I do 
 expect it to reformulate the gui's menu's, but the sort does fail 
 occasionally.  And it should force a reboot when libs are being 
 replaced, that bit me 4 days back, crash/locked this machine and the 
 machine I was logged into working on some gcode, had to dress and hit 
 the shop building in 20F weather to reboot that one too, else amanda 
 would have pestered be because it couldn't do the backup. Like Jackie 
 Gleason was fond of saying, what a revoltin development that was. ;-)

 Take care Kate.
