After twenty years using Windows as my primary desktop operating system, I have migrated to Linux Mint.

Here is my story...

Hello dpbaril

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

Nice write up dpbaril,

I enjoyed it all, and you are quite accomplished with your networking, etc...

I looked at XnView and started the download immediately when I saw what it could do.

I, also, a big huge fan if IrFanView... that is the only image editor that I use on Windows, as it is the fastest there is, and the easiest to make quick changes and post them on the web....

Never owned a V-Strom, my rides have been the Yamaha dirt bikes of the early '70s and then later I switched over to Honda Goldwings.... an '84, '86, '94 GL1500, '98 GL1500 and now my '2002 GL1800

Have a nice day, and thanks for the intro.

FYI Irfanview installs and runs just fine in Linux under Wine.
