The Settings menu at the top right corner of the screen is the simplest way to find out what version of the OS you are running. > May be I should try to get WindowMaker to run on this box and see whether > this makes a difference!? Oh dear. I would have said "no" to that, but it seems it is too late. > Woahhj!! The Linux desktop world is in a period of some flux at the moment, with major infrastructure changes that should substantially modernise the OS. These include: * systemd -- a new init daemon that subsumes a lot of traditional Unix underpinnings * Wayland -- a new display server that replaces the decades-old X Window System, used on all other Unixes (except Mac OS X and Android). These changes will also distance it considerably from more traditional FOSS Unix OSes such as the BSDs (e.g. FreeBSD). However many of them are controversial and widely disliked. It does mean stuff is changing quite fast at present. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
