Hi,
   I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I discovered QupZilla when 
playing around with a min install of Ubuntu 12.04 and discovering how 
often I could crash it in the process of building it up. :)  I really 
like QupZilla and think it would be a natural for Lubuntu when moving to 
LXDE-QT.
   As I said, you always have thoughtful responses to queries on the 
lists and I was hoping to ask you what I hope is an easy to answer 
question( I don't intend to intrude).  If I were interested in learning 
how to be a developer is there a starting point or a place to begin? 
This may be a simpleton's question but I am not above admitting 
ignorance.....

Best
David

    I have used DuckDuckGo and Ixquick for quite some years now.  I try
    to encourage otehrs to use it too, they don't confine you to results
    that the computer "thinks" you will like.
    I think DuckDuckGo is especially nice with the whole ! (bang)
    searching.  I use that an incredible amount.  You can search the
    ubuntuforums with !askubuntu <String> or askubuntu with !askubuntu
    <String>
    There are tons of sites
    https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html
    And there are tons of other goodies too...

    I think it is a superior search experience, though sometimes I use
    ixquick if I can't find what I am looking for.  It is nice having 2
    to get different results, though in the past year ddg has gotten a
    lot better results.
