We did not succeed due to my old Mac hard- and software but he motivated me to have a look at Linux. Until now I tried the distribution Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and Xubuntu both on Live USB. And I'am really astonished how good this works especially the first one (LMDE)! Now I will try a Linux OS with an old netbook. Many thanks to ternaryd for convincing me that my experiences are not necessarily typical! ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
