Yeah, my friend is very particular about things like that. As
much as he can he has the same layout and same apps on Linux and
Windows. I put it down to the sheer amount of weed he smokes and
the subsequent need to not make things unnecessarily tricky when
switching machines!


I am still trying to sort out the scuppering of the WiFi when the
laptop comes out of hibernation or suspend or whatever it's
called, but it's not so important at the moment.


That's a deep and tricky problem. A lot de3opends on how the drivers

Yeah, it is becoming apparent the more I read! But I am sure
nibbling at it will eventually get rid of the problem!


Hmm. I have pilfered so many fonts from so many places its hard to see

You need better fonts then ;-)
