I run it in Debian Stretch with Xfce. On the other hand, I have noticed my GeForce 4000 no longer works. But, hey, even old computers have to stop at some point. I just hope this PC Chips mother board gives me another year or two. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://linuxcounter.net/user/425914.html] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
