[huskerlug] Re: A Couple of Questions

Gee, I am incorrect about 15 to 25% of the time, if I
speak up before engaging my brain, and I try to do
that less often!  

I have witnessed the FUD spewed by over-eager PC sales
folks, who obviously neglected today's medications, or
are on their tenth cup of java...

Wow, I found a slacklive distro, on a private website,
that uses Knoppix to start up, and it loads sooooo
fast! on a PcChips Gigabyte M787 board, I am repairing
for a disabled lady, it soars with the eagles!

Now, I need to go and find out where I got it, so I
can
send you all a credible link!!
