Give a good look at PCBSD.
The Linux ecosystem is currently in upheaval due to an abortion being assimilated by most distros, called systemd.
The purpose of systemd is to make the Linux desktop more "windows like". It is necessary for the Gnome desktop to function. The Gnome desktop is a pile of garbage, so don't waste your time if you can avoid it. PCBSD will run on most hardware and is simple to install and use.
I used to live in Tahoe.
Occasionally during the summer months, someone would contract bubonic plague after their house cats were outside and near ground squirrel burrows. It is transmitted by fleas of the common ground squirrel in the area. Don't remember the species.
The infestation of infected fleas usually gets worse in drought years.
Plague fleas are found all over the sierras, Yosemite as well.
We have the same system in Alaska.
Unfortunately there seems to be a bug of some sort, in the functioning of the pencil component, as we still get a lot of already-corrupted republicans voted in.
Although we DID vote in legalized cannibus last go-round so the universe does seem to self-correct from time to time.
There are many more real and working ancient remedies than you know.
The main problem limiting your access to, or knowledge of them, depends on whether the Multi-National-Pharma giants can own and profit from something anyone can get for free. All you have to do is know where to look, what to pick, and how to prepare.
For example, I've been using golden seal root for years and have killed off intestinal parasites and pretty much any bug that makes me ill, all in very short order. You can buy the stuff at any health store but your Big Uncle Pharma can't own and patent it. No advertising, no marketing, something that works well but few know about.
Imagine a news break about a common plant or a common sense lifestyle that could put the multi-billion dollar flu shot industry out of business. Oh the horror!!!
Nope, that wouldn't fly..
Alas, Debian once was the standard that other Linux distributions were measured by. Fast, stable, dependable, reliable, secure, usable.
Not so today, since they decided to pour bucket loads of experimental garbage code into their base, that the distribution can give the Gnome Desktop user a more Windows like experience.
Note: Nobody uses Gnome anymore. Move on..
To be fair, a Linux distribution with training wheels (systemd) could be helpful to those wishing to migrate away from M$ addiction, and have a system to learn the linux desktop on. But changing the entire Linux ecosystem for this experimental bloat was suicide.
Thankfully, FreeBSD has reached a maturity that Debian/Linux purists can migrate to, and can still have a safe and secure, modern, state of the art, desktop system, their way, without the squirrelly flashy wizbang bloated garbage that has now infested the Linux world.
I started computing with Dos5/Win 3.0. Loved Dos 6.2 + WFW 3.11. Then M$ threw out their solid, stable, bought, code base and defecated out Win 95, and the world changed.
My memories of win95 were equally warm and fuzzy, until the the BSODs began.
Oh the horror of working on a CS project for hours, with a upcoming deadline, and watching a good chunk of code and hours of work vanish upon File -> Save -> BSOD -> "NOOOOOOOOYYOOOUUUUFUUCCC..." M$-Anything is the only product brand that made me want to throw my computer out the window and go back to pencil and paper for tasks, where applicable
As soon as I found Redhat 9, and it was what M$ should have been, I jumped ship from the M$ line of crapware entirely.
Today it's FreeBSD all the way
Fast, rock solid stable, bleeding edge software, safe and secure. This is what computing SHOULD be all about. Not the flashy, squirrely, dumbed down, garbage the marketing depts think people want today.
As typical of most/. articles and comments being mind-numbingly asinine, your post gets close to the mark. It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.
Our solar system still has billions of objects hurling about the sun. Nothing is static. Everything is dynamic. It's only a matter of time before the earth gets hit again by a space rock the size of a mountain, more or less,.. doesn't really matter.
As many comments previous & following involve the "buried head in the sand" approach, which is just fine, there's no need to "worry" about an asteroid impact. It'll happen when anyone least expects it.
The skies are very big and our eyes on the sky are very limited.
Can we just agree that all the news stations are incredibly retarded?
No, there are varying degrees of retardation.
Degrees of
Retardation:
(1)"That is ONE stupid son-of-a-bitch"
...
(10)Moron in the corner drooling on himself and blaming Obama for everything wrong in this world since the beginning of time
Fox News and those that watch it, are below the bottom degree of Stupid Somewhere around 11 or 12
On the contrary I also use M$ systems in my place of work and have for many years. My preferred OS is superior in every way to any proprietary system I've ever used, contrary to your M$ fanboi drivel.
The advantage to running Linux and BSD is they are somewhat niche systems, therefore not necessarily dumbed down for dolts like you, and therefore much less desirable for malware authors to target, although no OS is perfectly unbreakable. Your M$-xx and iOS-xx are easy targets for malware, and that is a fact, not so much on my side of the fence.
You're free to go with the majority like sheep, whatever floats you boat.. asshat!
Yep, I got an iPhone 5 when it was offered to me for no-charge with a 2 year contract. Been using it for 6 months now & in my opinion, it's the biggest POS out there. Will never have another iCrap device again & getting this thing was a mistake. I was duped
For example, It features a note pad app that deletes my notes at random intervals, usually in less time than it takes to follow up on said memo. In the settings app, everything is removed and/or locked down and/or obfuscated to the point that nothing is usable for the average intelligent human being, this coming from a Linux/KDE user that is accustomed to and expects to having access to system settings.
This thing is truly a Golden Turd. Mr Cook's take on the smart phone scene reminds me of Doris the Bowler hat & being pwned by an iPhone is like being assimilated to the Borg.
I know full well Android isn't perfect, but even a dumb phone is better than this damn thing.

I've been an M$ hater for many years now, with just cause, and will never change. They had their chance. I liked win3 - 3.11, then came win95
Ever program on a Win95 system? After spending an hour typing code, you go to save your work, only to see the system lock up and crash.. and you lose a pile of good starter code. I quickly learned to save after every line of code. Purely asinine..
Win98 was the same thing.. but coming with new promises of improvements..
Finally came win2k and some improvement but a whole new learning curve to install and configure properly. I reinstalled that over and over for a month until I has a system that stopped crashing
Microsoft Win-xx is the only OS that ever made me want to throw my computer out the window and go back to pencil and paper
Then I found Red Hat 9.. Holy shit batman! This is everything win2k was suppose to be but it installed in an hour, came with all the applications I need and 'just worked' right out of the box.. perfectly!
Today I dual boot Debian Wheezy and PCBSD 10. I can emulate most of my classic rpg games on Wheezy, and use Freebsd for finance and accounting due it's security. I have one laptop that came with Vista that I use on occasion for software that is purely M$ locked in. Today M$ is dead to me and I see their fanbois as clueless 12 year olds that just don't know any better.
You are absolutely wrong. This is clear as day.. Those are the footprints of the earliest Nikes ever produced. The guy next to him was wearing Keens And behind the short bald guy was Bigfoot in flip flops
