The last version of Linux I used on a daily basis was
RedHat 7. Sure, I've occasionally used Fedora, Ubuntu
and Mint since - but not every day.

But I have some spare parts lying around - so it is now
time to cobble together a daily-use Mint machine. (Why not, eh?)

The IPAD doesn't do everything, and I'm sick of the
perpetual Windows 10 McCafee fake virus attack warning
fishing malware.

And by the way - I taught my 80 year old Dad how to use
OS/2 Warp Server for E-Business (WSEB - OS/2 version 4),
and then Windows 7. If he could do it, anybody can.
He was TOTALLY intimidated at first - but then he became a
Web surfing, emailing DEMON. LOL.

God rest his soul.

HAPPY EASTER, DAD!

Have an old Toshiba laptop running Mint 20. Runs cleaner than another laptop that I have Win 10 on (a constant headache and slow). Have Brave, Firefox, etc. browsers, Open Office and most other utilities. At some point I may just erase Win 10 on the newer laptop and install Mint 20 just to utilize the newer processor, network and graphic chips.
