Hi NMGLuger's, Just read an interesting article about Kali Linux and the change to remove 'run as Root' as the default login. That's right, Kali as an OS may have used a root login as the default because it had a certain aim when run from a CD as a troubleshooter system. This helps me understand why I was a little unsure what Kali was "up to" when I first saw it in use. I came to Linux via Knoppix, a live CD (years ago a CD was enough) and had fun using the elevated privileges to hack into my own former OS. Of course the experience was good for learning and I eventually opted for Ubuntu installs as my "go to" favorite. I am now getting more accustomed to Debian, though not recommending Debian for the new user. I still have fun with live systems, Knoppix included, though I now have a very nice Debian 10 live usb and would recommend that to anyone wanting to learn about Gnu/Linux systems. Speaking of talking to others, the termination of Microsoft support for one popular system has given me a few opportunities to spread the Freedom of Gnu/Linux. How about any of you? Has anybody asked for release from the tedium of un-free software? See you Thursday, Ted P.
