It’s my Dad’s birthday today 🎉
He was born 96 years ago and I think about him often.

Here at the moment with PCLinuxOS, streaming an American football game from a high definition television broadcast, which I can also pick up on my laptop.
(That explains the high memory used!)

I’ve written a few comments and posts about a couple of other distributions today and also a very worthwhile book to read called Slackware Linux Essentials.

No, I’m NOT abandoning antiX, in fact, I’ve been using antiX-21-runit_x64-full to write each of the posts today, including this one.

I do, however, enjoy using many Linux distributions, and since I’ve been using them for a long time, I know quite a bit of the history from my own reading and personal use.

I did not get my hands on Linux personally until late 1995, but I had been reading about it for a couple of years in various articles and magazines. Since I was also a fairly early user of UNIX systems (no, I didn’t use the original back in 1969 but I did take a peek at a PDP/11-45 implementation on an offline lab version in the seventies and I actually was part of an advanced research and development project to bring departmental and personal systems into large enterprise computing environments at General Motors in the early 1980s – I was using both PCs and UNIX by 1981 and was a confirmed UNIX user in 1982. So when Linux came on the scene, I read all I could about it and when I could afford it, I bought a computer with the specific idea of using BOTH Windows AND Linux on it – BEFORE the days where GNU people turned up the hate on Microsoft and other companies.

Anyway, if anyone reads or wants to exchange comments on this, let’s start a separate thread to do that; this is “mostly” my space to journal what’s going on and what I’m doing and running on a given day.

re. the Dell Inspiron 5558, according to laptopmedia.com:

“It was released in March of 2015, and it is based on last year’s GeForce 825M with a GK208 GPU. We expect the GPU to be marginally faster than its predecessor, since Maxwell generation GPUs mostly improve power consumption and don’t emphasize performance as much. … Dell Inspiron 5558 is a good mid-range multimedia notebook…”

As far as the firmware, I updated it not too long ago, though the firmware update is a few years old now too.

This system is really HEAVY in weight compared to any of my other laptops; the Lenovo X201 might be close, but it’s a much smaller laptop in physical size, UNLESS the optional platform is attached.

One thing these two models do have in common is solid construction.
