Again an OS **update** notice appeared in my UPDATE-MANAGER ; I said yes of-course and the update Linux kernel v_2.6.32.54 dropped in without issue. Usually I get taskbar display of a RED-TRIANGLE .. outaluck fella.
Of-course Ubuntu UM constantly nagsnagsnags for me to UPGRADE to U_12.04, but I'm quite attached to GNOME-2 ... and having tried, I feel MATE isn't as transparent as its fans declare!
Will ultra.stable U_10.04LTS run forever ?? Can I expect to be buried much older and no wiser under visions of ELECTRICSHEEP dancing on my Hanns_28"? Will I EVER try to flash the ancient v_1.4 MSI_gd70 BIOS? Idunno. Lusrs have been known to drop dead immediately after a flash-gone-wrong bricks their mobo!
