After my last post, either that night or early next morning I realized I should have said a thank you to some folk. So to all those that shared information in an effort to help me.....Thank you. People at this LUG may indeed be right about puppy, I don't know. Here is an article about that policeman and puppy and banking: www.itnews.com.au/news/nsw-police-don't-use-windows-for-internet-banking-157767 So going off that article it would seem that any live distro that fits on RAM is safe for banking. Now as for Ian. It is intetesting to at least me. Many/most people don't move away from where they were born/bought up in. wwwpewsocialtrends.org/2008/12/17/who-moves-who-stays-put-wheres-home/ So a person could be getting sh*t from someine online that they babysitted. I find that ironic. No I'm not going off that article but rather family happenings bought me to that article. Anyway .....Ian. After Ian had a go at me last month for no reason: list.Waikato ac.nz/pipermail/wlug/2016-June/014171.html (I hope those two last addresses are correct after the effort it takes to type them on this finicky phone) If a person is bought to court, they never wear a shirt saying 'I am guilty'. Usually the jurry/judge has to go off circumstancial evidence. The most important point with Ian is that he had just had a YELLING RANT. Now when someone finishes a yellining rant, are they most likely to go: 1. Now who can I help or 2. Who will I have a go at next?. So anyway I'm having to type this out on my finicky little phone, because I Haven't had the privilege yet of buying a new computer yet that I know will work. So this isn't his entire post:wlug/2016-June/014171. But you can just go to last month if you're interested. So the next point of interest is that the very next thing that he "says to me' after his attack on me last month was this latest.....um stuff. "NOW WHAT ABOUT TRIMMING THOSE POSTS!!! OTHERWISE I MAY BE FORCED TO DIG OUT SOME ARCHAIC INTERNET ETIQUETTE FAQ AND POST IT IN FULL ALL IN CAPS. Just joshing people. But puhleeze???! A word for Michelle and the quest for perfection. Sometimes in this life there is a dichotomy between what we wish for and what we can actually accomplish. Maybe near enough is good enough. Is there actually such a thing as complete security on the internet? Possibly, but probably not for the average citizen. "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." Scott McNealy, formerly of Sun Microsystems. Sad but probably true" So about me and my quest for perfection: UN my post this month I said: "Well I give up. I have tried for months and invested dozens of hours to get a machine that runs qubes and it hasn't happened..... If nobody is prepared to do that it is more than fine . I will just buy a computer that runs a windows legacy os." Now I'm sorry, perhaps I missed the part there about "my quest for perfection ." Saying to to someone there "quest for perfection" well, whether that is taken taken as condescending or resemble depends on who said it, how they said it and when they said it.Vin this cade is was by a guy who had just insulted me and had just come of an angry rant! U think there were other things I wanted to mention about Ian but I can't remember. If I am amazingly wrong about Ian's intentions this time then so be it be he completely bought it upon his own head. On 2016-07-06 20:21, Peter Reutemann wrote:

Puppy was recommended by a police officer. I think he was doing banking for the police maybe?
Don't trust the filth. Surprised they even realize what Linux is.
Please keep it civil!

So unless someone is willing to help in a hands on way, I don't want anymore help. Thanks anyway.
Suggested it before, will suggest one last time. Show up to Te Ata on a Monday or Friday morning and someone from there will help.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help but I really tried. Now to trim.
If you read Michelle's emails again, you will see that she is not well enough to travel. Therefore your offer is not an option.
Cheers, Peter

So going off that article it would seem that any live distro that fits on RAM is safe for banking. That article was written in 2009, so Puppy Linux may no longer be your best choice seven years later...

Yes true, but I was rather fond of puppy although it may not have looked that flash hot. Grin. Michelle. On 2016-07-08 20:14, Matthias Dallmeier wrote:

Just give "tails" a spin, which is well maintained and can be run off a USB stick, too: https://tails.boum.org/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
Hi Peter, thanks for that suggestion. I'll definately look into it. Also that latest puppy skacko looks very interesting. On 2016-07-13 10:19, Peter Reutemann wrote:
