	And what distribution of GNU/Linux are you using, Leroy?

	Limited technical competence and heaps of curiosity but at 88
not terribly interested in studying for new career.
	My Distro not-Slave is a man in Texas who publishes the
distro and compiles with assistance from testers and coders.
He is presently working on 6.18.26 and other parts of the
Distribution.   What he provides us generally works smoothly.

	Some of the PCLinuxOS users do build their own kernels
but I have limited time sitting at the computer and use it for
communication.  I read technical groups like col.misc for
comprehensible tips not for slamming the other users.
	But you see, I will at times...>
