Hi Felix, Q’s first: - POTS as he connects to the Internet by telephone dial up? - Juno as in Juno WebMail or through a mail client? Otherwise: - User has No computer skills. - Needs Wine. (for what?) - Computer’s technology is 10+ years old. # # # Based upon just the ‘zero competence in computer’ try him on a MX Linux Live USB in persistent mode [1]? That should be about the easiest way for you to test if the hardware can handle it and once that’s figured out, then you can add TDE. Best, Michael [1] Update the release references to 18.x on https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/create-a-live-usb-w-persist-from-a-windows-desktop/ and https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions This might also help, http://inet-design.com/blogs/michael/how-create-bootable-usb-stick-iso-image.html Or just search, https://mxlinux.org/?s=make+live+usb+persistence --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
