PQ> Hi! Roger,
 
PQ> On 10 Apr 19 19:49, you wrote to me:
 
PQ> Same, same.  For the present I've opted for bookmarking a site that

PQ> the closing announcement comments.
 
But they still track you via cookies.
 
PQ> I wouldn't have.  For a recommendation I would nominate either of two

PQ> I'm running both at present: with 'Xubuntu' desktops on both PCs here,
PQ> with one of them running a 'Lubuntu' VM in VirtualBox... which may

If my eyesight doesn't worsen, I may give it another go, but there will be
hoops to jump through because of D'Bridge.
 
PQ> Both distro versions are "reviewed" by a bloke named 'DistroTube' on YT

PQ> entertaining as well as informative.  (Four stars out of five, each.)
 
I wouldn't mind watching a video of that.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
