   	Hi fellow users of the Mandrake/Mandriva forks,   
      
   	Found the following this AM in current Distrowatch weekly.   
      
   > A post from the PCLinuxOS Twitter account suggests the project is   
   > going to be doing some cleaning of its software repositories this year.   
   > PCLinuxOS is a rolling release distribution, but tends to be conservative   
   > when it comes to swapping out packages and changing the user interface.   
   > The project's post reads, "Things going away in 2017: Legacy GRUB,   
   > Legacy GDM and KDE4." At the time of writing, PCLinuxOS already has   
   > KDE's Plasma 5.8 desktop available as a session option and GRUB2   
   > (the replacement for GRUB Legacy) has been available to PCLinuxOS   
   > users for over a year.   
      
   	I thought you guys might like to know about this.  Everyone knows I   
   prefer to use KDE's Plasma 4.14.18 if you have been reading   
   these posts.
