Albert Street is considered synonymous with Saskatchewan Highway 6, although signage now points Highway 6 to follow Ring Road and bypass the downtown area;[3][4] however, some maps and remnant signage and still show Highway 6 as following Albert Street through Regina. An alternate route of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) through Regina, follows Albert Street between Highway 1 and Victoria Avenue.

Route description

Albert Street begins at the Ring Road (formerly the Trans-Canada Highway Bypass),[5] where it continues as Highway 6 south, and travels north through southern Regina's main commercial area. North of 25th Avenue, it passes through Albert Street South, an upscale, historial residential neighbourhood of large mansions dating from the 1910s and 1920s. Albert Street also forms the eastern boundary of Wascana Centre, providing access to the MacKenzie Art Gallery and Saskatchewan Legislative Building. After crossing the Albert Memorial Bridge across Wascana Creek, it continues north through The Crescents, also an upscale, historic residential neighborhood, and passes by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum before passing through Regina's downtown core and intersects Victoria Avenue. North of downtown, Albert Street passes through North Central and more commercial development before reaching Ring Road. Albert Street is a short freeway between Ring Road and Highway 11A (formerly Highway 11),[5] before it leaves Regina, passes through the Sherwood Industrial Park, and continues north and Highway 6 north.

gollark: Ah, but it has to be bootable *by UEFI/MBR*, that's the hard bit.
gollark: Yes, a valid picture-y image file which can also be booted from.
gollark: You could make a *zip* file which is both bootable and extractable, but that's because of a weird zip quirk.
gollark: Evil idea: somehow make a valid image file you can also boot from if you `dd` it straight to a disk.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free componentof a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shellutilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNUwhich is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users arenot aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just apart of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the systemthat allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux isnormally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole systemis basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
