Hi Knightwise really loved this show your experience with Linux goes a bit further back than mine I only took the plunge when Ubuntu came on the scene and I started to use it to Freecycle old kit here in the UK. I was so impressed with the reactions of those receiving the freely given PC's that I started to use Linux on my own box and have been Linux only since 2009 First with Ubuntu and then Mint. I have just upgraded to Mint 18 and so far it looks quite stable.
