Yes Ray I stuffed that up, MATE is the GUI

So what you are saying is, when I go looking for Ham Radio stuff to 
download I have to make sure I get it from the Mint repository.
Would my package manager or software manage ensure I get stuff from the 
right repository?
What about when I use ~$ apt-get install xyz?  How will I know if I have 
the right repository?
So Linux Mint is a distribution on its own and there is no guarantee 
that something which runs on Ubuntu will run on Mint?
I've just been lucky so far.

Linux is certainly more interesting than Winblows. Good exercise for the 
brain.

I'm aware of the 32bit issue and have only been downloading 32bit stuff.
I wish there was an easy way to go to 64bit but I don't think there is 
much of a speed advantage for the stuff I do. Its never been an issue.

Thanks Ray, regards Bob vk2byf
