Yes Ray I stuffed that up, MATE is the GUI<br>
<br>
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.<br>
Would my package manager or software manage ensure I get stuff from
the right repository? <br>
What about when I use ~$ apt-get install xyz? How will I know if I
have the right repository?<br>
So Linux Mint is a distribution on its own and there is no guarantee
that something which runs on Ubuntu will run on Mint? <br>
I've just been lucky so far.<br>
<br>
Linux is certainly more interesting than Winblows. Good exercise for
the brain.<br>

</small>I'm aware of the 32bit issue and have only been downloading
32bit stuff.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks Ray, regards Bob vk2byf<font face="Times New Roman, Times,
