Hey MB - I understand. Sir G - Thank you much, for the links and the explanation(s).
I'm very excited about Trisquel GNU/Linux. Just came across it recently in Linux Format Magazine. This is also my first experience with a really free distro, so I didn't really think through the ramifications of installing prop ware. Bad habits die hard, but as long as they do go away and are replaced with good habits, it's worth the effort.
Cheers! dh99136751
