We got a little bit of snow overriight, enough that the bare trees will be wearing white coats and the beauty will be back with the dawn. I decided to start off with the second disc of this 2 cd set, which I have not yet played though I have spun the first disc three times!

No Pentangle tracks. Here's the track listing https://www.discogs.com/release/25026028-Bert-Jansch-At-The-BBC

Thanks, Kevin. Ubuntu is the distribution I read most often about. Second place might go to Mint.

Comedy relief for the hard-boiled pulp magazine.

I recently picked up this Michel Petrucciani archival release, and I'm really enjoying it.

This again: A stunning album. Is that Jansch BBC set all solo material? Or is some of it with Pentangle?

Sweet!

As my father would say, "You caught a plum!"

I love that one too.

$1. Couldn't believe it myself, I shouted "no effin' way !!!" out loud in the store. NP

Desmond crossed my mind while listening to this today (Desmond, the secret Tristanoite?:)

I believe my favorite Ellis album is Nothing But The Blues.

Disc 2 Excellent!

I have about 6 laptops running Ubuntu. It's perfect for what you describe. It comes standard with Firefox and Open Office for surfing & basic office stuff. Ubuntu is free. You just need to make sure you have at least 8 GB of RAM for the latest version to run.

I have Xocia's Dance on vinyl, but I've never even seen it on CD in the wild.
