2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Kick a % to the devs maybe. Like Jerry said he repairs computers for a living, so do I for that matter. I don't think the devs at LL are anarchists, but then again it might be good idea to cut them in just in case. Don't want them sending hordes of outlanders to burn your trailer in the middle of the night. My own anarchistic tendencies lean toward the creedo that you should be able to do whatever you want if you're over 65 as a reward for being a good citizen all those years and paying into a pension or SS with real uninflated $$ and getting back 10 cents on the dollar. Be a grey panther bro, and God bless.

Being recently retired, my pension is a bit short for paying the bills...  :'(

I thought maybe I could capitalise on the knowledge I've gained about Linux, over the last 3 years, and earn myself a bob/buck or two.
I'm no expert, but in general I now appear to be able to convert a range of different PCs from Windows to Linux (old and modern) relatively easily.

What I wanted to know was whether it's legal to use Linux's open-source materials (e.g. the Linux Lite logo) on business cards or adverts for my
own meagre profit?

Many thanks in advance for your replies
