Hey gents! Great show as always! I just need to catch it live again (tried last week but that time change must have mucked me up).

Just to clarify something on AT&T vs. “BSD”: Yes, BSD (the software) refers to Berkeley Software Distribution, but it would be kind of funny if AT&T were suing a piece of software. BSD, or more specifically, BSDi (Berkeley Software Design, Inc.) was the company that was being sued which was developing and selling BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) at the time.

So, my bad for not adding that “i” at the end.  Proof that “The ‘i’s have it!” 🙂

Parts for a new Intel 8th generation computer that I can’t install Windows 7 on.  My choices are either Windows 10, or one of 947 flavors of Linux. I have a different machine that I’m using Linux Lite, MX Linux, and Linux Mint on (rock on Kreg).  My own fault. I should have done more research before buying my components. I have a virtual machine installation of Windows 7 on my machine.
