Well the distro just continues to shine on the large screen t.v.
I happened across a "split table" thing for use at hospital bed side which was cheap and I removed the "large table" and use only the "small side table", which was, surprisingly adjustable for my hands held horizontally, so not wrist strain.
The airmouse keyboard resides thereupon and the actual mouse can alingside or usually stays at the end of the couch in a charger.
The whole setup works wonderfully well.
I've reduced the lower panel vertical dimension to about two three inches, and hafe a few widgets or links there for a wordprocessor, file system, VLC and the provided weather.
I hit the kicker at login and do an update while getting coffee etc.
I increased the font size and reversed the colours of the terminal so that i can view what is being updated from a distance.
And..........I downloaded some more "Linux beautiful women" backgrounds for the background slider which is set at five minutes! LOL
I've stayed with just two workspaces, VLC is permanently up on one, and when I have it playing I change to the other workspace so there is not "monitor burnin".
NOTE: I went through a LOT of RSS feeders to be able to get "plain news" and then realized........duuuhhhhh just use Google News for...the news". duuuhh
Again, I could increase the font on the "front page" but the regular articles are the site's provided font.
So I'm using the provided RSS feeder.
The weather applet is the best that I've seen, period, one click and it give a VERY LARGE and easily understood weekly and "day section" view which I can see from partway across the room.
All in all..........
LL is a fine distro for a large screen t.v.
if there are any questions, please ask.
