And no that does not mean I have changed over to Slackware. I have had a series of setbacks from 3 major storms to personal situations to a pair of computers deciding they should be retired. Yes I am still out here just a tad slow in the posting is all and I hope to repair that soon. I have been watching the development of Mepis 7 with a close eye and will let you know when it is out and ready for the masses. I am also playing with different distros and hope to organize a comparison of those before long so hang in there and watch for the up and coming news folks, I’ll be back.
