I got talked into doing a new website. I'm struggling with the WordPress editor but it's readable. (WordPress used to be simple HTML, now it's all this block editing crap.)
It was a joke. I'm a fan of Abishek Prakash's really good It's FOSS website. But he takes occasional crap for recommending or reviewing non-FOSS apps. I'm all for FOSS but it shouldn't be the only choice, and if a non-FOSS choice is better, I use it. So I'm Moss. And It's MOSS is about *MOSTLY* Open Source Software....

But we have great audio editors and lots of backups. Now the audio will be combined and then split into two shows, one released next Tuesday and the other the following Tuesday....
I tried to install Sabayon on my Kudu 3. I couldn't even get it to finish loading the live system. I downloaded a new copy in case that was the issue, but it didn't fix a thing. So I installed OpenMandriva Lx 4.1 on the Kudu, freeing up my OM4 partition on my desktop, and went to install Sabayon onto the desktop. It looked like I had succeeded, which is a lot farther than I got on the Kudu, but updating did not work right. I did a lot of updates using Rigo when the terminal stuff didn't work, but...
