I did not make it clear that my new computer is a desktop, it is not portable. But even so, while I /was/ using a laptop, I kept clear of MS Windows and I have never, ever, had anything to do with an Apple Mac. If I come across anyone who uses either of those OS's I just say that I don't know anything about them.Thanks for that. I have kept clear of Windows for over 16 years now, so it will be used solely for Linux. Windows is not allowed in this house. NeilMy view is my standard policy 'I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it'. 'It' in this case being the ability to read files using more than one OS. Obviously you do not foresee any circumstance where you would install Linux in your home which is fair enough. However it is a /portable/ device so there is always the chance you may need/want to use it elsewhere, where the users are not so enlightened, i.e. have Macs or Windows PCs. Julian
I have now formatted my new disk drive to Ext4. Regards. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
