When i purchased my new laptop
the first thing I did was to dual boot between Linux and Windoze

There are apps i can do without that run on windows

i have also had to do some sole searching as to which Debian Distro to use

Since Ubuntu is no longer South African I do not see why we should have
loyalty to a foreing product which tomorow they will use European
Cryptography laws to give a a lower version for South Africa

Pity but true.

I know that Impi linux was bought and shut down to give us Ubuntu

Would it not be poetic justice if impi linux was resurected

Nico




Kind regards
