   	==================================	   
      
   	Right here on my notebook!   
      
        Hi Typers and readers,   
            Got my Virtual Box install of Mageia 6dev1 running nicely on it   
   but for some reason I decided to move stuff over to   
   the PCLOS this afternoon and now we are cooking with gas!   
      
        It seems to boot faster than Mageia 5.   
      
        But the best things are the ease of setting up the Virtual Box and   
   LibreOffice5 oh and the fact it can use the (U)EFI and GPT.   
   	   
   	Right on TexStar!   
      
        Maybe a few visits back to the Mageia 5 but maybe not.   
      
        Well in the meantime I will keep the Mageia 6dev1 updated.   
      
        It has kernel 4.6!  Made it the default after I did   
   the updates.  Had to do it all again in the last 24 hours due   
   to a dumb mistake on my part.  It is a wonder i remember to   
   breath and eat.   
   	   
      
        bliss
