my "keyring" password. Mouse was working nicely so I tried gedit and it
wouldn't work. I reboot and it works.

Linux. He bought it from Tesco two years ago, so I think it probably

This might be of interest, there's clearly already a consultancy
project assessing barriers to adoption of OSS in the civil service - as
