Sorry about the outdated message--it's the result of starting up a PC that's been out-of-service since December (hence the date) while connected to the LAN. I had no idea the message was still in the outgoing mailbox. Oddly enough, I'll be installing Linux on that very PC once I get the hardware in order. Thank you for responding, though!
