Noel,
My Internet computer is a little old. Almost 10 years so I have a graphics issue. 9.1 does what i need and is supported for another year. The devs already know they have an issue and will fix it. they just didn't want to hold up the release. There is a temp fix I might try.
I have 2 laptops that sit side by side. 1 for internet ( linux) and 1 for RealBand & Biab ( Windows) they are networked together and share very nicely. I even share the printer that's hooked to the Linux box. I have Avast on the Linux box to scan specific files destined for the Win box.
On the Linux box I run:
1. GUFW Firewall
2. Firefox withe the No Script & Browser Defender add-ons.
3. I have disabled ping in the GUFW.

When I check my Linux box at GRC Shields up I "do not exist " on the internet. With dialup my IP changes each time I log on.
