  1. Hay, Gang! Thank you very much for wonderful weekly news and opinions on Linux!

    Ryan’s tip about dongles for WiFi is particularly timely to me. I have rescued two computers from death by landfill. I planned to use them as backups for emergencies, but struggled to install several versions of Linux on them because none saw their internal WiFi cards. Although I finally found a distribution that woks on the 2009 MacBook Air, I’d like options. Your tip should help me to bring new life to old hardware!

    I depend on the three of you for insightful tips, Gnews about open-source projects, good-natured grins and giggles to ease the tension. Keep up the great work!
