[Liverpool] We Need Some Talks For 2017

[Dan Lynch]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the topic suggestion. I could talk about the differences between various distros perhaps and the history of them. Not sure I'll have that ready by Feb 1st though.

I haven't used PCLinuxOS in a while but I did review it for the Linux Planet site about 10 years ago. Good to know it's still out there. I can certainly think of some suggestions for an alternative that might support your printer. We can have a chat about it next time.

I'm sure we'd be happy to hear you financial story as well.

See ya,

Dan
