( whether going to meetings anymore ? ) This is directed specifically to me ? I will eventually get to the meetings again, although I haven't heard of them in a while. Last I heard was the hotel with the wifi in Brooklyn, I would check it out.
Info to whom it may concern: As of a few weeks ago, all the weird problems with Linux on my MSI system are cleared up now, and the system works flawlessly. How ? -
1. ran FSCK, it found a bad bit or byte, I forget which, in the MBR and repaired it.
2. then ran updates, and got a message that a new, correct driver was available for the Nvidia graphics card and recommended it- "Do you want to install it ?" Heck yeah !
These steps resolved all issues, most recently which was on boot up: "Kernel panic, CPU's not syncing, timed out" etc.
Note that these events took place with Mint 17.4, I could not get Open Suse to install properly.
Would this new Nvidia driver also be available to Open Suse ? ( i.e., the new driver was provided to the Linux kernel, or from the Mint development group ? I dunno. )

you beat me to the punch, yep 32 bit ( 4 bytes on the CPU register )
can only address 4GB of ram not much nowadays.
Would be interesting to know if this system could be upgraded to all
64-bit.
Android topics recently circulating:
I have a Note II android phone- my gripe: don't know if it is Android
or the browser, but while commuting, I load some webpages to read when
I go underground into the subway.
But, the device tries to refresh the page I guess, and when it can't (
no signal underground ), it
WIPES OUT THE ALREADY LOADED PAGE, gives a blank screen with some
stupid message "can't connect" or similar.
Ok, you can't connect now, but why wipe out a page you've already got (
and used up some data allocation for ) ? ? !
