Oh no I'm not. I'm running Oracle Linux !!! :-)
It has a picture of a bronze statue of an adonis
with a goatee on his chin, as the cover art.

I'm using a DE, where I have to do a lot of clicking

free free free!!! And I'm proud of the fact I can't have
icons on my desktop. Nasty nasty things, those desktop icons.

See, two can play the fud game. Your outcome is just
