I personally would not be telling novices to install packages from
testing, sid or from source just to work out what desktop environment
they are in. At the best of times it seems like a trip into the weeds.
Although as this thread is going much like every other Gene thread I
have ever seen, we probably will never get to even that first step
before it cycles around again, no matter what is attempted.
I wish Gene had an experienced Linux user geographically near to him.
I have 2 others well within half a gallon of diesel, they are as puzzled
as I am. They are using linux because of me, I intro-ed them to it when
I was the CE at the local CBS affiliate for 18+ years. Now I've been
retired for 23 years.
Thanks,
Andy
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
