In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello! What do I run you're asking: I run a Solaris 10 (March 2005) on SPARC for file delivery, and specialty graphics management. And a gathering of Raspberry Pi devices running their version of Debian. One running is a regular Pi. Currently sleeping is a Slackware Linux 11.0 system. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
