You should turn off the quiet build "feature" and watch all the "stuff"
scroll by. Maybe just do that when you got some spare time. Brownie
points if you can read and understand it all too. lol
My brother has recently converted to Linux, with a LOT of my help. I
put Kubuntu on his rig. When I need help, I google then I ask here. So
far, the folks here seem to know more about *ubuntu than the people that
actually have been using it for a while. Sort of funny in a way. Than
again, so sad. :/
