Using standard packages and with the help of a Linux guru. Both I and he were stumped in looking for drivers and the like for perfectly straightforward peripherals - monitor, printer etc. I am sorry to have appeared scathing but in my actual, real, having tried it out twice,(actually) experience it is not straightforward and all the online help assumes a knowledge and experience that I, as a very IT/computer literate person, could not fathom. Sorry but that was me 'actually trying it out myself'!
