On an Intel desktop, Live operations is fast, smooth. And the new desktop layout took no time to understand its objective.
What a work of Art! Very professional desktop, background, etc.

Update on the "problem" AIO PC: LAN issues have disappeared! Now, this PC can be used for local and internet WAN needs, again using SLACKO64.
Update 2 - I was premature in the LAN service. It only last for about 1/2 minutes when it stops allowing traffic in/out of the PC. Further, SWAP is not found at boot. Thus, all 3 issues reported earlier, remain. I did have my fingers crossed. This AIO is my newest and fastest of the bunch in the house. I am hopeful that Slacko64 can be its main OS distro. Wondering if the problem is the kernel or some other issue where the distro is mis-reading the UEFI firmware on boot, leading to the problems upon arrival at FirstRUN???
Update 3 - Tried boottime puppy "pfix=fw_drv". No change to any issue.
Funny it works on most of the 64bit distros, but not this one. And its the newest PC in the house; the only one which embodies UEFI.

P.S. Did anyone else see the contribution by @RufWoof to give this distro the ability so that other PCs on the LAN can boot without the use of any local peripherals; namely no HDD/USB/SD/DVD/etc is used to boot the LAN PC swiftly. That package should be in the Repo, if someone can PET it.
