That's one helluva load of info Terry but my problem is a burner app. I use Nero for CDs and DVDs on a Windows machine but this is a Linux distro, Ubuntu. I haven't got a clue where to start to burn a CD or a DVD. The install of Ubuntu ia about 7 gigs but it's all geek to me. Open Office I think I can figure out. GIMP is the graphics app which seems decipherable. Sol. Freecell and Mahjong I've got under control........... The rest is gonna be loads of fun !
