Hello!

It sure is. Sadly, the AF ultimately folded Air Force Communications Command back into communications divisions of the major commands. I THINK they call it Air Force Communications Agency now. (At LEAST they kept the LOGO.)
 
I had the pleasure of serving under Gen. Charles A. 'Chuck' Horner at Holloman AFB, NM by keeping his secure phone working. Since you left service in 1992, I'm sure you know what HIS greatest accomplishment was...

Is that an Air Force avatar?  I retired from the USAF in 1992 as that was career #1...

Hello!

Welcome to Linux Lite. I hope it is able to satisfy your expectations. As for myself, I've just burned 2.0 beta onto a 16GB SD card.
I'll throw up a post about it when I'm done evaluating it, but so far, I REALLY like what I've seen!

My bro started out as a CPA way back when. He worked his way up to being a corporate big shot. He retires at the end of this month...

No, I'm not an XP refugee.  All of my hardware is newish and 64 bit - I just prefer lightweight and efficient in an OS.  I've tried MANY distros and like a lot of folks I continue to look for the perfect one.  Yeah, I know it probably doesn't exist but the search is kind of fun.  I take care of near a dozen computers in my extended family and just recently converted my wife and son over to Linux.  Right now I have them on MX-14 which is a great distro with some very nifty features but it's based on Wheezy and only 32 bit so there are limitations.  I DL'd the 2.0 beta this morning and booted it on USB to give it a look and I like what I see so far.  I'm going to install it on my generic test laptop and give it a whirl.

As for me, I'm an old guy on my 3rd career and I worked as a programmer (in DOS) for over 15 years.  Haven't written a line of code since the late 90's though as I'm currently an Accountant.  All my computers are laptops ranging from an AMD E-350 netbook to a Core I-7 beast with 8GB RAM, 2GB Nvidia video, and 750 GB drive...
