<font size="+3"><font face="Tahoma">Hi LUGers,<br>
<br>
Some months back I bought my Dell E6520 with a 128 GB SSD.<br>
It came with Windows 7 and so of course I attempted to create a<br>
dual boot machine. I messed that first attempt up and due to my<br>
contingencies I finally got around to it on Wednesday am.<br>
I managed to install my PCLinuxOS 64 from an 2018.06 release<br>
but before I could do that I booted up the GParted from the <br>
install disk and wiped out my previous Linux volumes. It took<br>
maybe an hour after getting it setup to install and get a full
set<br>
of updates to 2019.01.<br>
The speed of boot is a little better but no spectacular.<br>
Hopefully I will be able to show this off at the next
meeting.<br>
<br>
Today's News is that Distrowatch is now stocking</font></font><br>
<i><font size="+2">Distribution Release: Ubuntu 18.04.2 </font></i><font
size="+3"><font face="Tahoma"> LTS.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this will not be full of the problems that have<br>
plagued Ubuntu lately.<br>
With a little luck I will have several versions including<br>
Kubuntu and Lubuntu as well as the mainline product.<br>
<br>
Ok bad luck. 3 attempts on I have not been able to<br>
get a full copy of Blue Collar Linux. I have exhanged<br>
emails with the publisher. He has a high speed line<br>
since he is a developer. <br>
Maybe someone with a high speed line faster than<br>
DSL in this case could get a download? The developer<br>
claims no other cases of download failure. The URL<br>
is below.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://paladin-blue.com/"><https://paladin-blue.com/></a><br>
Maybe it is the bad weather but I tried by night<br>
and by day and by night again.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you can get the download and<br>
hopefully share it with the rest of us.<br>
<br>
