That kind of makes sense, with the nss in the name. > >> The programs I tend to leave running 24/7 are Thunderbird, Firefox, >> VirtualBox with Win 7, and Skype.

No. I tend to stay logged in 24/7, and leave Thunderbird, Firefox, and Virtual Box running. I shut down Skype when not in use, and close LibreOffice files when they're finished. LO files stay open overnight if I'm still working on them. In particular with LO Writer, it loses the "ignore all" setting on what it thinks are misspelled words when a file is closed. It's not a big deal to run spell check again, but it's a minor annoyance that is avoided by leaving them open.

I don't know if Ubuntu has that feature. Is it an Xfce feature or a slackware feature? I suppose it could be there and I just never tried it. It's very rare for me to just log out. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
