Okay, I did find the answers to my questions about Linux and the best OS to use with Rhino 6 but I have some more technical issues I would like to discuss.
For a while I was using Rhino 4 but I was trying to create files for a 3D printer but every time I tried to create the slt file it would leak because of a flaw in the surface and tracking down and finding all the leaks just became unmanageable so I just put everything on the shelf and said we’l wait and see.
I see Rhino 6 offers what is called an AMF file format. My question is, "Since AMF is supposed to be kind of universal, if the new Rhino 6 converts my files to AMF, will it fix the leaks I had with the slt file? And if it can fix the leaks, can I then down load the AMF file into Rhino and have a corrected version? (Talk about lazy eh?)
I’m trying to create a secure system for my CAD designs because I’m running out of time at the age of 70, so I can’t afford to have some malicious hacker get in and corrupt my work with some virus or have some crooks install ransomware or something and lock me out of my own designs. That would be intolerable.
What I want to do is use a USB memory stick to load and run Windows 10 and Rhino 6 and have all down loads and saves and even cashing etc., anything that can be channeled through the memory stick, so everything, as much as possible, remains on the memory stick, not the computers hard drive, which should only be used for temporary storage as needed or if it is a more efficient use of computer resources.
This way the computer I use is irrelevant beyond its own technical limitations but in some cases it may be expedient or convenient to use what ever is available and since I would be loading my own OS, the computers own OS and firewalls would be incapable of interfering with or contaminating my work. As long as the host computers BIOS allows canvasing of the USB port before it looks at the hard drive for the OS. Next I would like to have an identical copy on an identical USB stick and then back up the working stick to the backup stick at the end of each session. In this way either USB stick can act as the other, so there is no mixing them up and if one gets corrupted, the other should be there. Next I would like to have another identical copy of the original downloads and only use this copy to upload and download on the net. That way any contamination should show up on the first transfer to the working copy and the backup should remain safe.
So after all that my question to you is, “If I buy and download Rhino 6, will I be allowed to make three copies in the interests of security?”
Thank you for your time. Sorry for babbling on.

I need the outer surfaces for a unroll, but I don’t know how to close the gaps between the extrudes, can someone help me?
