This is retained for some species of PLC programming software and, considering its age and the fading of those PLC's into the mist, may soon end up being recycled. For my main systems I use Mageia 4 which is a nice stable environment (came from the Mandriva and Mandrake stables which I think had relationships with Debian). MPE's VfxForth runs nicely on the platform and I have excellent 3D CAD (VariCAD) and Eagle running on it also (complete manufacturing design resources). Libre Office comes as part of the package (documents, spreasheets, drawing and presentation apps). I also have a video editing suite application for editing the Camcorder offerings. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
