Right, in theory. Software is software,Ubuntu is free source software, the
code should be avalable. But Ubuntu does a lot of things differently and I
have reached a stage in life where using my computer is more important than

specific steps were needed, what modules, custom config, etc. (Hopeing, not

each can do, that my interests have moved up a step.
