Re: VLC
I find VLC very useful mainly for the command line invocations. This way I can get a web and/or telnet interface to the server. E.g. I use /usr/bin/vlc --config=/home/chris1/internetradio/vlcrc.pulse --no-video --no-media-library --daemon --pidfile=/var/lock/vlc-music.pid --playlist-autostart --play...

Re: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
+1 to that. c 1:30 until I wake up - anything between 9:00 and 11:30
I don't know where anyone got the idea that us oldies need less sleep. Apart from the overnight bit, I regularly get an hour or so late afternoon or early evening.

Re: Wubuntu Windows Ubuntu OS
I took the bait. Downloaded (eventually, I had to use wget) and installed in a VM (VirtualBox). Got Conky and Vim installed as usual - why are these two "essential" progs not included in {X}ubuntu? Paint.net next. What a shambles. I don't think I'll be continuing with this spin. LMDE6 is g...
