Absolutely Andy. But from the argument thread my original post generated, 
there are IMO, quite a few who have become addicted to the koolaid. And 
thats not a good thing. Theodore T. has been right waaaaayy more than 
he's been wrong. Raspian is usually not more than a day or so behind 
debian, and differ in that they assemble a ready to run image using the 
same code base, perhaps with some additional non-free stuff to make the 
hardware work a bit better. Point being that in the case of my original 
problem, the software in the middle of the discussion differed only in 
the object it was compiled for, and the source probably remains byte for 
byte identical.

But I must say even I was surprised by the near total bailout when I 
mentioned that it was raspian. Obviously in retrospect, there is bad 
blood?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
