Fair enough, although I'm surprised she didn't ask her techie Dad to help! Was she scared you might install Kubuntu on the sly?

Oh, I've kept her informed, all right, but I hope you can understand that my gene contribution turned out to be dominate, and she is as obstinate and hard headed as I am.

My son and I do lots of things together and I'm continuing on with his son, my grandson! Life is good! Today, my grandson and I played BTeam Minecraft by remote connection for several hours.

In how many other Linux forums do the regulars get to learn so many fascinating details about each others' family dynamics? I'd say none! That's why I love this place so much
