Court decision works for me. Rhetorical comment here: When Tilghman mentioned ABI in recent email, it was the first I ever heard of ABI. I know the acronym API, but I probably don't understand much past the acronym what an API actually is or how programmers use one. It astounds me how much I get exposed to just by getting to read the emails. I believe Redhat was in the same conversation and after seeing Ubu20 work well and messing up the well working Ubu18 with a not so good upgrade to Ubu20, I tried Fedora 33 and am thinking I'm seeing less crashes and non-responds than with Ubuntu 18. I'm running the memory intensive Wolfram Mathematica along with over a dozen Brave browser and Firefox tabs and several LibreOffice documents / spreadsheets and am not seeing the system freeze up but rarely; it's a 12GB RAM Acer laptop with AMD A9 processor.
On the topic of Redhat and CentOS, maybe openSUSE Leap will fill the void, <goog_745365889> https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/open-source/opensuse-leap-ready-be-new-centos CentOS seemed to me to be the popular choice for running a web server. If anyone has a recommended alternative, I'll take said recommendation. M On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 10:59 AM Tilghman Lesher <tilgh...@meg.abyt.es> wrote: > Not quite.
