If you look back a few days earlier in this list, you'll see my experiences in installing Ubuntu on older MacOS hardware -- I just went through the process and documented it there -- and there are various resources on the web that weren't too hard to find. I'm typing this on Ubuntu running on

I would be very interested to learn how to avoid the insecure MacOS software replacing it with that from Linux land. Any good source to read about it? On Sun, May 10, 2020, 07:47 Daniel J. Luke wrote: > On May 7, 2020, at 3:34 PM, Ken Cunningham < > ken.cunningham.web...@gmail.com> wrote: > >>
