Hi Warren!
Yes... made it through "another winter" - and talk about a rough one here in the Northeast corner of the USA! Several feet of snow at a time on the ground at any given time! Even though it's now mid-April and we "should" be well into Spring here many places in Maine still have snow upon the ground, we have frosts at night, and frequent weather reports for snowfall. It doesn't bode well for our "usual two weeks of Maine summer" I'm afraid. -sigh-
And as you have pointed out: "Made it through another winter." But now the time is being measured in months instead of seasons. You ( and others who know my case ) know what I'm talking about. No need for sympathy Warren believe me, okie? I will rejoice when the final lap of the race has been run!
Speaking about Gnome on 4.2.1 one more time if I may? WOW's .sfs file of it, though only Gnome 2.16 or 2.18, it looks and runs gorgeus on this Puppy and takes up far less RAM than the Trinity Desktop ( KDE-3.5 ) on LucidPup. Plus WOW included so many of the Gnome programmes like Totem, gedit, FileRoller, and so many more. The only error I encounter is upon bootup where there are a bunch of "udev" readings flashing across the screen but I've found they mean nothing at all. Works flawless. I just wished I had "the knowledge" others seem to possess so as to be able to roll it altogether into one .iso file for a bonafide "GnomePup-4.2.1" ( as I have in my sigfile. lol! ). Somehow I always mess it up.
Okie, enough of my ramblings! Take care Warren and thanks for the comeback my friend!
Cheers!/Amicalement!

Hello Eyes-Only.
Content de te lire.
Et oui, la neige a été abondant partout.
Aussi en Belgique.
J'ai cherché un peu de soleil aux îles Canaries.
Salutations,
Bernard

While ever you're here, jimmi, there is a reason. When it's time to go there will be a reason, too! Just a little homespun philosophy!
I'd like to see a polished version of Gnome offered as an SFS for Lucid! That would complete the picture of an Ubuntu-like Puppy IMHO. I hope someone takes up the cudgels and goes for it, jimmi!
All the best to you and your family, especially Isaac.
Cheers, mate.
