That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to go up to my friends in a bit, |
| 53 |
to look at deer pics from our trail cameras, and I'll get the brand and |
| 54 |
model and do some googling, startpaging for me. I was hoping that |
| 55 |
modern ones would 'Just Work' but I guess they are still picky. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I've been using Gentoo since about that time too. While I'm not opposed |
| 58 |
to switching to something else, I'm not really wanting to either. ;-) |
