[conspire] Installing Linux on Elise Scher's Chromebook

[paulz at ieee.org]

 Elise,  
Sorry you are not well.  i was looking forward to a discussion about different distros you might try.  
Meanwhile, maybe people in the group can suggest some "live" distros that you can put on USB and take for a test drive.   Then you can see if your computer has enough RAM and look at different window managers,  etc.

 Hi Rick and others,    Unfortunately, I will not physically attend after all. I am hoping it is just my allergies. But my nose is stuffed up and dripping sometimes. Discharge is not green. But just in case, maybe I better not attend and try to get more sleep. I usually don’t get enough sleep. :(.     I’ll try to attend for at least a little while via Jitsi.    Thank you all for your help!
Respectfully,Elise Scher

Fair enough.

Or, as my favourite Josh Lyman line in "The West Wing" goes,
"Ah, the rare valid point."

You say that like it's a bad thing.  ;->

(I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

There are codebases where "not maintained" is just another way of saying 
"is a finished, mature product that doesn't need anything else done".
Procmail is the classic example.  I'd venture that IceWM is another.

Concur about dmenu, in that regard.  And thank you for the excellent
piece about that.
