Hi Ralf,
That's good to know. Thank you. You are very helpful. I will stay with
Linux (of course). I'm just trying to find my way around as a
beginner. I'm not looking to upgrade to anything right now although
your background supplied on GRUB was very interesting to read and
understand.
I'm just looking to learn the tools that installed with the debian
distro. After I master them then I will consider moving on to other
tools, desktops whatever (if it ever decide). But that's way off in
the future ;-)
Appreciate the concern and help.
Be well
Wally
