   	Hi typers and readers,   
   		I did not have time to write about 2017.02 and .03 was out!  Hurray!   
   	This is one of the finest implementations I have seen.  It has the   
   editors I use, the mail client I use, and lots beside. LibreOffice   
   version supplied at version 5.3. Krita is supplied.  The Linux Kernel is   
   4.9.13. "KDE components were updated to Plasma 5.8.6 LTS, Frameworks to   
   5.31.0 and Applications to 16.12.2." sez the announcement on Distro   
   watch.   
   	I made a DVD and a bootable Flash Drive.  The Flash Drive is presently   
   installing it to my test machine replacing all the other stuff on the   
   disk. I used the DVD last night to test the functions.   
   	I am waiting until the install is complete to do the rest of   
   my evaluation but one of my pet peeves, the digital clock has re-gained   
   functions and only lacks the copy date/time menu item.   
      
   	The limitation is that this is only a 64 bit implementation   
   and the Community might be able to supply the 32 bit kernel but that   
   remains to be seen.   
   	One note is that the remove panel menu item has been moved to   
   Panel Options>Panel Settings>More Settings>.  I mention this because   
   of the reconfiguration of the panel arrangements that users like   
   myself may indulge in.   
      
   	More later...
