intermediate Linux into - aus9 - 06-21-2016

Hi

I regard myself as an intermediate Linux user with no programming language skills and umm no plans to learn such.

However, I can and have some skills and plan on helping in the forums from time to time.

so far I like this distro as its fast to boot and a decent array of software that should have most people happy.

Rather than mention in any feedback area....it was trivial for me to add some of my fav software including
mc = terminal file manager
mirage = image viewer mainly for slideshows and easy magnification
mtpaint = smaller than gimp image edit tool, mainly to convert image formats and crop etc.

and youtube-dl needs a few terminal commands = a terminal command tool to download youtube movies and convert most into a a format for later playback if you can't afford to watch as streaming as you want to watch it more than once and have bad internet speeds......like mine is only 4 Mbps  or roughly 400 kilobytes per sec

I also noticed that vlc was already capable of youtube streaming.

cheers and thanks for reading

The terminal command 'youtube-dl' is easy enough...
Code:
youtube-dl [youtube video URL]

And to get this if not installed already on your PC...
Code:
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Sorry if I'm stating the blinking obvious here...
