I an a retired software enthusiast. I enjoy operating systems and user interfaces. These are some things I did before I retired: compile kernels, though I have not modified one. I would often test systems, especially their installation, configuration, and initial usage. My goals were to help systems to become easier to install and use every day.

Hoping to test PCLinuxOS Preview 9
I started downloading PCLinuxOS Preview 9 earlier today, but got sidetracked with a major electrical storm in the area. I played it safe and cut power to my system, my network card, and my Cable modem. Things are back just fine (thanks to shutting down before the lightning bolts hit, but I'm now going to see if I can resume the download - I was using wget to download the software - I will be trying out wget -c to continue the download, then I will see if k3b can still make a clean burn. If all goes well, I may yet get a chance to test out the latest PCLinuxOS preview release.
