Hello webmaster, Thank you for responding, but unfortunately, I am not yet computer literate enough to understand all the technical terminology. I love Linux and have been using it for over 2 years, and would not go back to Windows, but I still have to click here and there to get things done. I am still at the Linux for dummies stage.
