The US Government and Extraterrestrials(ETS)
The US Government and Extraterrestrials(ETS)
Arthur "Art" Buchwald (October 20, 1925 – January 17, 2007) was an American Humorist best known for his long-running a column in the Washington Post, which in turn was carried as a syndicated column in many other newspapers.
His column focused on political satire and commentary.
He received the Pulitzer Price for Outstanding Commentary in 1982 and in 1986 was elected to the American Academy and institute of Arts and Letters.
The US Government and Extraterrestrials(ETS)
Now that concrete proof of the existence of the ETs was available to the US government, the ETs started sending messages to the leadership which knew about the Roswell incident.
The central message was that nuclear weapons were very dangerous and should be eliminated, plans to build nuclear power plants should be shelved immediately and in return the ETs would help the world develop new sources of energy which were safe and essentially unlimited.
The elimination of nuclear was naturally a military decision, but the civilian leadership of that time was also involved.
This was the time of the cold war.
Harry Truman was the President.
Truman was no Roosevelt - he was a small town Southerner, a decent man, but no great statesman - not exactly an internationalist or overly broad-minded.
He had no regrets about using the atomic bombs.
When Germany attacked Russia, Truman said "If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances."
He and his cold war Generals were the people who would be making the decision on what to do about the ETs overtures.
The decision was made to ignore the ETs urgent messages.
A secret department was created to investigate the ETs, their downed spaceship and their ultra high technology.
How did the thought process go?
How did they decide what the best course of action was?
Since the whole affair is so highly classified, we can only speculate.
So here goes (pure speculation):
Super Patriotic General (his father may have been at the Alamo):
"I smell a rat. What do these wags want?
What is their angle?
What is in it for them?
Who do they think they are fooling?
We weren't born yesterday.
Once we disarm they will invade us with their fancy weapons".
Blue blooded Politician (his was the third generation of ivy league educated men in the cabinet):
"The great nation of the United States stands between these blood-thirsty savages and the entire world. We are the world's last hope. It is manifest destiny that the US makes the last stand to defend the world against these aliens."
Member of the Cabinet (a self-made man - his father was a used car salesman during the Depression): "These aliens are a bunch of saps. We will just string them along until we figure out their technologies. That can't be too difficult, we already have all those Germans working on the rocket program. If not, we can just con them into handing their secrets over and keep all our nukes as well".
Someone who looks rather like Dan Quayle jumps up and starts hysterical shouting - "USA! USA! USA!".
The general asks him to shut up and sit down.
The OSS (CIA) man in dark glasses (nobody in the room knew his real name):
"Wonder what kind of sex these aliens have?
We could get some pictures and spread them around.
Nobody in the world would touch them again with a barge pole.
We have already taken care of all the witnesses.
Its like the aliens never existed."
The President takes a deep breath and with great pride in his voice:
"Boys, today will be remembered forever in history as the day, America did right by the world. Just keep it to ourselves for now. Shut it down like it never happened.
You all have a good weekend now."
I am sure we can come up with a lot of different scenarios.
When governments keep information, which rightfully belongs to all humanity, so secret, I think we have the right to speculate all we want.
There is of course no need to be at all charitable in our speculation about their motives.
If any of the readers have their own ideas, please mail them to me at the address at the bottom.
The decision was unanimous - the aliens were to be ignored.
The Truman team basically did not take the ETs that seriously.
After all any US marine could break one of those ETs, that they had found on the ship, into two pieces with both his hands tied behind his back.
Our jewels - the nukes would be preserved and strengthened.
The incident would be completely covered up. It was a wonderful day in America.
When the Truman term ended in 1953, General Eisenhower, the golfing President entered office.
The General knew exactly how to fight battles and win wars.
Just command someone to do it while he went golfing.
Eisenhower's cabinet contained two of the most evil men in the world since WWII - the Dulles brothers (Kissinger, Dick Cheney, David Addington, Karl Rove and Elliot Abrams come pretty close in matching them in evil).
One brother was the Secretary of State and the other one was Director of the CIA.
And then there was Nelson Rockefeller - he was no stranger to secrecy and the intelligence agencies and Eisenhower had already assigned him chairmanship of the President's Advisory Committee on Government Reorganization.
In addition Rockefeller was appointed the head of the Operations Coordinating Board responsible for integrating the implementation of national security policies - the OCB included the Under Secretary of State, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Foreign Operations Administration, the Director of Central Intelligence, and the President's Special Assistant for Psychological Warfare.
The ET phenomenon had been well analyzed by the military by now.
The report that Nelson Rockefeller saw was devastating - it basically predicted the end of world as he knew it.
Nelson Rockefeller was reputedly a 'liberal', eastern republican, not like the narrow minded ones from the south. However, Nelson also believed in the 'American way' and the superiority of 'Western civilization'.
He was proud of his White, Anglo-Saxon heritage, American capitalism and his Christian upbringing.
He was also an internationalist who believed in spreading these American/European values across the world through evangelizing.
The other earthly races were the white man's burden and he would show them the right way to live.
But these ETs were going to spoil all that.
They appeared to be far more advanced and superior.
They even talked in terms of peace and brotherhood.
If the world at large found out about these superior beings, why would they bother with what he and America had to say?
It would be the end of American and Anglo-Saxon domination.
It may even be the end of capitalism.
With cheap, unlimited energy sources like the ETs promised, the third world would advance at a rapid pace.
All poverty and want would be eliminated.
Within a couple of decades, they would catch up with the West.
With free energy and technological progress, the countries with the highest population would be the most powerful.
China and India would be dominant with the US a distant third.
This would never do.
The ETs had to be outwitted and defeated.
The world was to be united against the ETs under the leadership of America and its allies.(Of course with clean, free energy, there would be no pollution, no climate change, no global warming, no poverty, no starvation - but these were not the problems of the 50s and 60s in America nor considerations for the 'free market' republicans who wanted the market to fix all these problems).
Truman and his team had done a good job keeping the ET information from the public, but now it was time to take it further underground, not only would the public not know about, it would be hidden from all elected officials as well.
Nobody but those within military/intelligence complex who were already involved with ETs would have that information and any others would get to know only by invitation from those already in it.
This group would be financed completely off the books, by black budgets from the CIA and other agencies or from friends in the know in private industry (banking, defense and energy/oil companies) or even self-financed by illegal activities when necessary.
The ultimate cover up had begun.
The private industry partners in this black project were very likely led by Nelson's brother - David Rockefeller. Together with other European banking families, US defense contractors and energy interests, the two Rockefeller brothers (or at least Nelson alone) would help the US intelligence communities (CIA/NSA/NRO etc) manage the operation.
The golfing president signed off on it and essentially signed himself out of the loop without quite understanding what he had done.
The US Military/Intelligence Cabal and ETs
The plan to handle the ET phenomenon consisted of several projects (all run by the blackest of the black ops):
Try to catch up with the ETs technologically - develop similar space vehicles as well as weapons to disable/destroy such spaceships. This project of building spacecraft like the ETs was handed to the defense contractors who were partners in the operation.
Discredit all witnesses to UFO sightings or close encounters with actual ETs. This involved planting CIA assets in every organization which believed in UFOs and buying off any journalists or writers who wished to investigate the ET phenomenon.
The worst part of it was catching those who did have encounters with the ETs and intimidating them, if necessary kidnapping them, torturing them, drugging them or eliminating them if that was what it took.
Get people in the US (as well as the rest of world) to fear and loath the ETs (without ever admitting that they existed).
Here the plan got more complex - it involved psychological warfare.
The plan was to have the military/intelligence members pretend to be aliens and then abduct ET sympathizers or those who may want to expose the cover up.
The abductees were drugged, hypnotized, tortured or sexually abused (the intelligence operatives have long discovered that sexual abuse was a easy way to traumatize people) using techniques perfected in the CIA's mind control project MKULTRA.
Besides drugs and hypnosis, bombarding the victims with concentrated electromagnetic rays was also used.
Since the ETs often visited rural areas, a special group that secretly mutilated cattle was created.
This was sure to turn farmers against the 'demonic aliens'.
If nothing worked outright murder was always an option. They had discovered ways of driving people completely crazy or even inducing cancer in people from a distance using the Electromagnetic weapons.
The groups involved in the disinformation, abductions, torture, mutilations were very much like the Nazis - Mengele, Bormann, Himmler, Goebels all rolled into one (apparently only a Hitler was missing).
I am convinced the planetary Dark Forces influenced the groups, some of them may have even been obsessed by one of the Lords of Materiality.
As years past, the group went out of control.
They became a rogue operation within a rogue operation.
If a CIA director or even a President dared interfere in the cabal's affairs, they and their families were at risk.
No Democratic President was let in on the covernup.
Kennedy who tried to find out more may have been assassinated for that very reason. Carter and Clinton did not have a clue and were threatened when they asked any questions.
When the Vatican was informed by the US government of the alien menace, they were equally appalled.
They searched the Bible desperately for any indication of such beings. If the ETs were not angels or demons, what were they?
Could the divine trinity be applied to the ETs too?
There was no indications that The ETs accepted such a human/divine Son of God (or even a God).
And they were an advance superior race!
The whole Christian belief system built around the 'only begotten Son of God' was at risk.
It was best to suppress all information regarding the ETs.
Recent statements from the Vatican indicate that they are preparing for the time when eventually the truth about ETs will be revealed.
He spoke about the extraterrestrial people as part of God's creation and that they are not angels nor are they devils.
Recently Fr. José Gabriel Funes S.J., the current director of the Vatican Observatory, organized a conference about the possibility and consequences of life existing in outer space.
He even suggested that there could be aliens who were superior to humans and not guilty of original sin (Whatever that means! I guess, he is saying that the aliens are not demonic like the fundamentalists believe).
Islam and the ETs
Luckily for us all, no Islamic country with the exception of Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
Pakistan has never had a stable government.
There was no point in the ETs approaching them.
However, I am sure that if Pakistan's nukes ever got into the wrong hands, the ETs will disable them before any harm is done.
Islam is very specific about the type of beings that exist in the universe.
According to Islam there only three kinds of beings - humans, angels and demons.
The ETs were not humans and they were definitely not angels - that leaves only one choice.
I am pretty sure the full disclosure of the existence of the ETs will result in the complete collapse of the Islamic religion.
Unfortunately, the fanatics among the Muslims will not give up without a fight.
This will mean violent clashes between the firm believers (in this three kind of beings theory) and those Muslims who will accept that the ETs are not demons, but superior and advanced beings.
Foreign Governments and ETs
The motives of The US government are fairly clear.
The presence of ETs, their technological superiority, the availability of limitless sources of energy were threats to US domination of the world as well its political, social, economic and religious structures.
But what about the other nuclear powers that were also approached by the ETs?
What were their motives for participating in the cover up?
These are not so clear, so we must speculate. The analyses below is speculation, some day soon we will find how much truth there is in it.
Britain
The British were convinced by the US government that the ETs were dangerous and not to be trusted. If the west ever lost their nuclear weapons, the ETs were sure to invade and take over the world. Britain being a developed economy had nothing to gain by revealing the existence of the ETs and their UFOs and much to lose.
Recent official statements from the British government indicate that while not admitting the ETs/UFOs exist, the British government considers them harmless and benign.
However, the British government as usual would like to defer to the US on whether or when to reveal their existence.
France
The French government does not like to defer to the US, but they also see the danger of the West losing dominance and the more populous countries of the East becoming world powers. France is heavily invested in nuclear energy and quite sure the fission plants are safe.
Also France is technically a Catholic country.
Perhaps the France would like to defer to the Vatican for the timing of revealing the ET phenomenon.
Russia
The Russia were the second country to be approached by the ETs.
However they were soon convinced by the US that the ETs would not only leave them defenseless (without nukes) but that the ETs posed a danger to the monopoly of power of the Communist party in Russia.
China
The Chinese were also fearful of losing their nukes - their only protection against the USSR and US. They were also worried about losing the power monopoly that the centralized communist party enjoyed.
More recently, they have been having delusions of grandeur.
India
India has been late coming to the nuclear club.
So the contact with ETs has been very recent. India would benefit most amongst all countries by elimination of nukes, the revelation of the existence of the ETs and the development of new energy sources.
With cheap energy, India's millions of starving people would be dragged out of poverty in a single generation.
Also among all the religions, Hinduism would be least affected by the ET news, if anything many of its beliefs maybe vindicated.
However, though India is regional power, on the international stage, it is a timid country.
Besides Indians are panicky people.
There are rumors that members of the families of foreign leaders have been abducted by the US staged fake aliens and frightened into silence.

Buddha

Buddha
Who is Buddha and what he is not?
BUT;
1. He was not a philosopher and Buddhism is not a philosophy.
2. He was not a scientific scholar.
The science and technology were not his domain.
3. He did not proclaim a rigid dogma of God and a Creator of the Universe.
He was part of the cosmos and all living beings are part of this cosmos and not outside (this cosmos).
The god is only a clumsy and flimsy human creation with no substance at all.
Coming to positive side of Buddha's Teaching he was one of us and was a perfect human being.
1. He lived in the present moment (of mind and associated mental formations of infinite variegation) not in the past or in the future tense.
No two human beings are alike and no two thought moments are alike.
2. He was a born environmentalist and lived all his enlightened life (except the rainy season) under a tree and not away from the nature.
3. He gave equal opportunity to all living beings and a wild cat living on another living being for survival was not an antithesis.
In other words, wild cats were born of their own karmic exposition and escape from that predicament is possible at the time of patisandhi citta or linking to the next life.
It is not eternal hell but escape is possible from animal kingdom to a better life BUT not being born again is his ONLY goal to eternity.
It is not a Void but a Signless existence of equanimity.
4. It is an individual responsibility of each and every individual to seek for his or her own salvation of the inescapable "human suffering and bonding".
By the way, I do not claim I understand all of them clearly.
Do not hang on to Kalama Sutta and questioning the Kalama Sutta itself, is the entry point to Enlightenment.
Buddha was never a saviour of humanity but who showed the way of compassion, boundless kindness, sympathetic joy and above all equanimity.
In his world there is no ground for Killing and War whether due to ideology or religious sects or humiliation of a different faith or sector.
Religion by all means a Brain Virus.

Facebook Weaponized
How to Delete your Facebook Account?
After lot of trial an error, I managed to delete my Facebook account.
However, I have to wait for another 14 days to take that into effect.
If you are old and visually handicapped, I tell you that you will not be able to do that.
They have made it awfully difficult and if you are old you must do that two weeks before your death.
In the first instance, I could not find the logout menu.
After I posted a blog report on Facebook, it appeared faintly.
One reason (out of many) for my decision is that they are sharing my information with people I wish not to be associated with.
Why I hate Face-Book?
Why I hate Face-Book?
About three years ago unwittingly, I joined the Facebook and there is noway I could opt out.
I have many connections including Dropbox, JoliOs-JoliDrive, Ubuntu One and WordPress in addition to Google.
In fact, I have not used Dropbox for a long time and my password had expired but they did not remind me of that fact.
Just as good to illustrate the difference between a service of a professional cloud server (Dropbox) and a social media (Facebook) with very little relevance to my day to day work.
To illustrate the point I get an invitation from some unknown baby (under two years) Deelip Kalum to join his page (these parents do not understand the principle of privacy and little child’s rights).
The Message went like this,
Fortunately, I have given very little information about me on the page.
In fact, I hate it since I cannot opt out or log out.
It is like the a “Pissige Pala Malla”-literally means the “mad woman’s belongings"-life jacket of survival of the illiterate- and I just keep it running by default for my friends to realize that I do exist in the sea of Junk world.
After hour an half of searching I could not sign off or opt out.
Will you be willing to join me in Hell ( Apaya).
At the moment I am in connection with the Apaya Computer Administrator to sort this out before my departure..
His administration of my Facebook from Hell will be Handy with Gory Pictures, from Hell.
Please note that individuals are not allowed to communicate in Apaya by email.
I have already figured out a way to deal with my email (dead email) after my death but not FACEBOOK.
Why it is so painful to cancel an account in a Social Media
Why it is so painful to cancel an account in a Social Media
I still wonder why social media are behaving like leeches.
They are hell bent on increasing their share in the open but dirty market
1. They start by offering you a free account.
That is the final bait.
In this consumerist world who will offer a free lunch?
2. Then they get every bit of your personnel data which even (probably) government agencies are not interested in.
If you are an average criminal, they are not worried about.
It is a civil matter.
They only want big fish.
In this country of ours, some government agencies actually promote average tricksters and they take them into their fold, get the dirty work done and dispose them unceremoniously like a pulp when it is a liability (we have a police ex-chief and a Sanganayaka involved in plundering archaeological artifacts) to the beholders.
Some of them steal even the vote of old people in "Incarcerated Homes''
They (the criminals) are a wanted commodity come elections.
3. These social media know that the governments steal their data whenever and wherever possible.
Earlier it was done at the airport.
Now they scan you in your kitchen doing daily chores.
They do not have to be on the beat but remain in air conditioned cubicles.
What a luxury?
4. This government paranoia for no reason to remain in absolute power has now infiltrated the social media.
They fear a bubble like in the credit crunch.
They fear the credit crisis.
Their profit margin that come free due to technology and that infiltrates into every nook and corner (luckily we have only 10% Internet penetration in spite of the massive drive) one does not have to sweat for one's tasks.
These guys also live in air-conditioned living rooms and sit in front of the computer and do not have to travel like the ordinary guys and girls who toil, every day of the week.
They have cushy IT jobs.
The network of computers and various search engines do the talk.
They talk tall!
5. Invariably they become the worst pests of this century and of any country
So they fear when a old guy like me want to opt out of their site for an ornamental coffin for the eternal peace six feet under.
They make de-registration, the most difficult job on this planet.
Why?
I do not know.
As a doctor, I can say it is an early sign of serious pathological entity not yet defined by the medical fraternity.
I coin the word digital Mafia that metamorphoses to Digital Morphea
Getting out of Hi5 was as difficult as with Facebook.
The details are hidden in the Full Site out of reach of the folks.
You have to contact them by email and tag with another entity and a token obtained for one to see the Full Site.
Even after getting there they will ask you various (FUD, Fear Uncertainty, and Doubt) silly questions.
Now they try to keep the data in their server and promote a reactivation scheme.
I don't think I can reactivate it from my coffin unless, I take a Tablet with Wireless connection to my final resting (rights) site, the TOMB.
Rest in Piece Social Media.
I have raised this many moons ago.
What happen to it when I am disposed or dispossessed?
Have I got to declare a Dying Dispossession?
In spite the technology they are unable to device a full proof method.
I tell old people please do not use Internet.
Visit your friends in person and enjoy a cup of Tea/Coffee or a pint of Larger.
That is more user friendly than social media.
Real people (not digital) need personnel touch.
I now practice digital zeroing when I am on holidays.
I really enjoy my privacy and holiday but enjoy every bit of flavor of food and drinks, I used to enjoy as a young guy (but going up in price for an average citizen).
I practice bit of Moment Meditation, too.
Life is to live.
Not to sit in front of an idiot box.
Creativity comes naturally, then.
See you next time.
I am trying to devise a method to opt out not log out.
Hope, I will have a Brain Wave when on digital holiday.

Thanks to AntiX Developers
Thanks to AntiX Developers
After vert long lapse I am able to configure the WiFi with the dialog box YOU produced in the lasted ISO image I downloaded and mounted on a USB.
I am now testing whether persistent volume can be made.
These is such a delay of MX Linux due to new Debian 13 series, I now have breathing space on the move.
Thank YOU.
Installer is smooth and I am using only one root partition.
Live session password is demo.
Cannot use Synaptic package manger on live session.
That is why I am installing it.
I cannot wait til MX Linux come out with a New Edition.
Yes, I am going to stick with IceWM and AntiX.
Finding applications was bit difficult but I am getting used to IceWM.
Debian Junior is based ion IceWM but I installed Gnome for safety since IceWM response was bit shaky with Debian,
I3 does not work at all with Debian.
Thanks again to Google Blog Spot, it has done a wonderful upgrade without me noticing it.
It has 12 Window manger and thanks for using IceWM as the default and I love it IceWM.
Do not think of introducing Enlightenment Window manager, since it takes 501MB and is very slow to download.
After fuddling with the Synaptic Package Manager ( no terminal), I got AbiWord Installed, that is all I need.
LibreOffice is already there and I think it is Bookworm kernel not Trixie.
Up till now Debian GRUB shunned all kernels of Debian but not of AntiX.
I can now wait patiently until MX Linux gets the Trixie Version.
I got my favorite Stacer in which was not supported by the new kernel.
GDebi is blocked.
COU and RAM use is minimal.
CPU 10%.
RAM just above 500MB of 7GB.
Well I am going to do my books which are very heavy on AntiX without worrying about Memory consumption.
I have 3.5GB left in my /root partition and that is the best saving I can boast about.
Sure to be 1.5 to 2GB..
I installed Xfce4 and idle state it consumed slightly little bit than Antix,
But moment I opened the Firefox browser it went up to 25%CPU and 1.1GB RAM.
So nobody can say, desktops only consume little memory.
KDE is the worst culprit whether it is Tuxedo, Cosmic or Pantheon do not matter.

40-Ylmf-ChineseOS
I had some difficulty downloading this partly due to the server (parent) problem and partly due to Telecoms inability to provide uninterrupted service.
Chinese developers have done a good job and hope they provide us a good server and updates.
it is Debain based and attractive adding Google services.
39-ChameleonOS
39-ChameleonOS
Mandriva, then Unity and now the next derivative lives up to its name chameleon changes its skin colour faster than it promises in its announcement.
What it has done with 500 MB is an excellent achievement,
This is an eye candy distribution even an apple convert might enjoy.
Like PCLinux-2007 it should develop its own repository and its own community to support.No wonder it will give a healthy competition to PCLinux and a headache or two.
It should have at least 4 versions and like Netrunner2 (Mixture of KDE and Genome but heavy) take few of the Gnome packages into its armory but should not get loaded like the Netrunner2 (do not bloat it).
Make it slim and beautiful that's where LXDE is a good candidate for a different flavour.
Well done guys and girls and develop your home site accordingly to attract new fans.
I am going to be one of your fans.
38-LadyBug-Verte
38-LadyBug-Verte
This the French derivative of SAM 2007.
Even though it has gone beyond the 700 MB (necessary evil when one tries to add additional languages) it is distribution that should takes its root and penetrate the French audience.
I hope French would do honours to Linux (Unlike Ulteo who is trying to shake hand with Microsoft-would be a failure-Wine is there if one wants add Microsoft flavour) by improving Lady Bug.
I know French give respect to ladies in green / orange.
They should have English too, so that they cam get help Developers who work in English.
37-NetRunner
Net-Runner-2 is an excellent distribution for a newbie (to Linux).
Even though it is in the middle weight category (MBs) it has everything one needs if one is connected to the internet.
It is a mix of KDE 4 and Gnome without the groggy grossness (Graphic intensity) of SuSe and Mandriva on the graphic (face) front.
K3B is a value added introduction.
Software management is good and in the tradition of Redhat have placed the packages in categories to select.
Only missing package for me was Skype to download. I hope they will add it next time around.
Another value added contribution is Gambase (for newbies to do visual basic like programming).
NetRunner is something one should have in one's wallet.
Change over rather the mixture (cocktail) may have teething problem but surely nothing the Linux developers cannot address.
Well done boys and girls.
36-OpenSuSe
36-OpenSuSe
The addition of virtual keyboard was an exciting change.
It got almost everything perfect except for ejecting the CD after a Live session.
Go ahead and enjoy SuSe it was one of my favorite distributions when almost nothing was available until PCLinux-2007 hit the market taking over its place and the sea change Texstar started.
Thanks a lot to SuSe Community and all the milestone editions and the tweaking of one of the best Live CDs.
I have just downloaded the Gnome version and soon the net version.
Hope they would add an O.E.M. version soon.
35-SuperOS
35-SuperOS
SuperOS is a distribution that I have mounted on my laptop but rarely used, just to have the feel of Ubuntu for demonstrations.
It has Wine and Skype.
Open office is the hindrance to it's development.
Could have been AbiWord instead and added few more utilities with the new release.
I was waiting for the new release to write home about it but hardly anything new with only a graphic face lift.
The is the price one has to pay when trying to emulate Microsoft.
It probably has something for the laptops but not way above others.
It is of the middle weight category and slow to boot but I prefer it rather than Ubuntu.
My suggestion for its new release is to change it's name to something like Sensation instead of SuperOS.
Linux people should never have the Megalomaniacs names like what you get in the commercial counterparts.
It should shed some of its graphic weights and open office (get open office from its repositories) weight and include blender and gambase (Visual basic counterpart but much better) mobile media converter (like PCLinux genome edition) and iTune compatibility.
If they think like Linux mint and have few more versions including OEM edition surely it can live up to SuperOS .
I think they should drop this megalomaniac name and go something similar to Mint, Peppermint, Imagine, Element and the like.
English names are disappearing very fast.
Grab hold of one before it is too late.
My humble contribution is to go for Sensation instead.
Vanity is another name which may foot the bill but not Superman or Spiderman or Batman.
They only have a historical value.
Linux is too mature to go for Super mentality.
Linux is super anyway!
34-Debian-Live
34-Debian-Live
Debian has entered on the Live CD Flora in style.
It has core, light weight and four (4) light middle weight versions that include, KDE, Genome, Xfce and LXDE.
Being the God Father of Linux its repositories are full of utilities that nobody else can boast.
There are over 31 (I have 12 in my safe) CDs in its repertoire of repositories.
Thanks for following PCLinux's foot path to freedom.Instead of packing all X windows in one distribution robust individual x window systems is the way forward.
Do not forget its nFLUX light weight distribution.
Many thanks for your effort, you can be on par with UBUNTU your God Son soon.
Your grandsons will boast about the grandfather for many centuries to come.
33-Imagine
GoblinX which was based on Slackware has changed its name to Imagine and changed its face. too.
Xfce is much better than slow to boot gstandard (? version 3) which was KDE.
It's about turn has made it a sleek, fast and beautiful Live CD that can be installed.
It's graphical installer is different from other partition tools.
I did not test its installation but surely coming from Slackware it must be doing its job without a problem.
It is light weight that is why like it.
Its Viking Map reader and tracer is the one, one should try for a change.
I am very much interested in Scientific and Educational packages including statistics.
This is a weak point in Linux even though there are many statistical packages no one package has taken root like SPSS.
I give 250 extra points for Viking and if they introduce a statistical package as a default I am going to use it like Berry Linux.
It must take a cue from Berry Linux which has Wine and and similar packages pre-installed.
Imagine should take a scientific lean and introduce statistics and a few scientific packages which do not consume Mib like other packages.
Good Luck and I am waiting for their next edition / version to write a review.
Give them a donation or two, too.
