Were these machines plugged directly into the wall, or did they have a UPS in front of them?
that had Windows10 Home on it. I decided to make a partition for OpenSUSE Leap 15.3.
Some details? E.g. inxi -LDpj
Roger I may have been too sleepy. It looks like I still have Windows. To answer, the machines were plugged into UPS units, and the internet thru router and modem. The FAX input to
the all-mode printer thru the LAN telephone connection, which fried the FAX connection but spared the rest of the printer. The router was blown, of course, but the modem survived. All 3 land-line phones were damaged--these were AT&T 4939, my favorite phone, no longer available. (Too simple to set up! You need to be a programmer for the new ones--even to use them!) I will try again to install Leap with KDE. Don't know what went wrong. If it still won't work like the Leap I have (now damaged) on my other machine, then bye-bye. --doug
