         Sunday, April 24, 2022 Distrowatch weekly newsletter contains a 
review of Peppermint OS 2022-02-02.
   Peppermint has moved from Ubuntu sources to Debian which may make it
   more versatile  and solid but at the same time may notably slow down, 
kernel updates.   Check the article at the URL below and check out the 
users' comments.   Also this issue contains a tutorial on the use of the 
"split" command to actually split text and binary files into smaller 
pieces and to make many small files into a large file.
