Some stable basic distro is a must "Please" Now I get the code approach and respect it VERY much but some of us are coming to Linux a bit late in life and have a certain learning curve too deal with. In concluding my 2 cents here I would say lets all be as helpful as possible to each other and remember life is very short so don't waste it being too critical of distro's or people. We all need a metaphorical hug now and then to enable us to keep trying to improve. Kindest regards to all and thanks to all who have got me as far as they have during the last 4 years.
