PCLinuxOS kernel troubles

Posted 07-13-2021 at 10:24 AM by crajor

I am not sure if many are reading this blog, however I still feel that if these posts would help anyone, then they are worthwhile.

This morning, having done a search: 'PCLinuxOS forums', a link was shown to the PCLinuxOS monthly magazine.

Tailoring Icons

Posted 04-06-2020 at 09:17 AM by crajor

My hope is that these entries can be used by others to learn SOME of the ins and outs of tailoring linux to one's own 'flavor'.
