NMGLugers, I have converted a 64 bit machine to Xubuntu 18.04 LTS, so I am now able to compare the 32 bit and 64 bit instances. I don't have any comments on the 64 bit, as I have just done the first bit of updating and additions of my desired applications. [Aisleriot, sox, lame, kstars, vim-runtime, and quodlibet] By the way quodlibet is a music player with a built-in Internet radio browser. Nice way to access a variety of music and a low-demand player for music in my files, too. I will continue to use the 64 bit machine and see how it compares to 32 bit version and the Debian Stretch (64) I am using at this moment. Why do all this exploring? So I am ready to share an install and keep others up to date when they ask. I am trying to expand our numbers as there really are no technical barriers for new-comers or limits of what the serious user can do. I hope to see a few of you this Thursday at our regular meeting. Thank you, Ted P.
