Downloaded 5.3.2.9 and upgraded from 5.3.2.7 which I have been using for a couple of weeks.
So that is not a pristine DVD load, it picked up my previous settings and went straight to a black screen [no sobbing]
So I had to turn the computer off and it then did a file system check
and then went straight to an updated from 5.3.2.7 to 5.3.2.9 desktop - oh yeah!
So I am happy as I have Openshot and VLC etc already set up
and am very pleased to not have to start over . . .
What I can say (I have said it before) Slacko is a system that works and I can rely on it to get work done (actually I should say 'play done')
Looking forward to the release version
Let us hope we can get a transmission with magnets . . .
