Linux
Installed! I am no longer a slave to Windows! I made the new-to-me HP
Mini computer a dual boot Windows 7 / Linux Mint 17.3 machine. It installed easily and then went through a lengthy update process.
I believe the Windows 7 install is corrupted and I don't intend to use
it much. In fact I will probably convert the machine to just Linux after a good test drive. In
the meantime playing with it will keep me off the streets.
I don't know why I delayed so long. Just chicken I guess.

As long as you aren't running any Windows only programs you can do everything you want on Linux.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mint is such a nice implementation of it.
I really like the program and until you need a Windows program like Quicken which I use every day, you wouldn't even know you were in Linux.
DeleteThanks for all the previous encouragement and help Don, I appreciate it.
Love using other than windows operating systems, too bad quicken is a windows only program.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Linux sounds pretty good - except for that Quicken thing.
ReplyDeleteThere are open source financial management programs. You just have to stop thinking like a Windows person.
ReplyDeleteI found GNUcash that will accept a Quicken file and allow you to work on it BUT it will not save as a Quicken file or transfer back to Quicken. Pretty useless for me unless I move right over to Linux.
DeleteBTW, does your expertise extend to Linux? (fingers crossed)...
DeleteNot enough to be called 'expertise', but I know folks who know a lot about it. :)
