Hi, and Happy New Year (almost)!
This is something that might be helpful for newbies especially. Was
going through some things on my computer and found a NICE list of
familiar Linux package names with SUPER BRIEF, SUPER SIMPLE one-liners

While I myself have written daemons in bash, doing so is at least
unusual.

Thank you for your feedback.
Actually, thinking it would help, I've just deleted my whole Windows

It has resolved some of my problems but I have another one: Debian 10 canno

Dear List Participants,
An elder friend of mine uses his 10 year old Sony Vayo with Windows 7
mainly for browsing the net, homebanking, E-Mails. Due to several
reasons, I want to give him a Laptop with Debian Linux that I will support.

Mostly an aside: My brother lives in rural podunk USA and he has a fiber optic
connection which his ISP says gives him 500 mbps (I live in a fairly urban
location but can't get fiber)
Background: His ISP says he has a 500 mbps connection which, without having
seen his setup in a number of year
