Hello ian_r_h,
you are Welcome :)
ian_r_h:
Thank you.
I'm pretty much now all-Linux Lite, as I haven't dared update my Windows 7 desktop for over a year (if it goes wrong, it's pretty much a 40 mile taxi round-trip to the local shop); and Windows 10 is getting more and more of a Prima Donna over updates. And this forced updates thing is a complete nuisance - especially since the "Pro" version doesn't defer them properly on mine any more.
LL is just so much more flexible. Plus already I can usually either fix any issues without help; or with the friendly help here! :)

Hello ian_r_h,
with learning it is always best to do what works well for you, being settled/comfortable seems to me to be a very big part of learning :)
LL is the only distro I use every day, I no longer use Windows, which is just since January, but it was a big step to take for me, it has taken me 3 years to get to take that step lol.
The @username thing , if a member has email notifications set up in their profile, it sends them an email saying they were "mentioned in a post"
Also in your forum profile, you can click a menu on the left side, that is named "Mentions", to find any posts where you were mentioned this way.
It's useful because the forum is a very busy place.
ian_r_h:
I'm just working through the book without working through the examples, at the moment. That's kind of how I learn - an initial read and a break, so my mind consolidates things.
LL is my only distro at this time. I guess I'm still at the "getting a feel for" stage with Linux. But so far I really like Linux!
BTW, what's the @username thing in the forum??
