<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Chris<br><br></div>I have not had this problem of things breaking with Ubuntu updates. It use to be a Surprise with the LibreOffice screwing up spell check. Getting spell check to work often meant removing LO completely and then install again.<br><br></div>The odd thing is, I almost gave up on Linux ten years ago because I had the same kind of experience with Fedora. Things always broke from one update to another. Ubuntu was like a breath of fresh air.<br><br></div>Just curious, how many members do you have in the Bruce Grey Linux group?<br><br></div>Best regards,<br><br></div>John<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 10:27 PM, LP <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linuxpusher2@gmail.com" target="_blank">linuxpusher2@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I am weary of the many issues with Ubuntu, I have lost count of how many times an update or new Distro has broken something.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I maintain computers from P4 up to i7 / amd 8 core.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Advancement at the cost of a stable working OS is not advancement.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I think in our race to out sell Microsoft we have lost sight of the important things.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">A Stable System that just works with Computers & their Hardware.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I am the S.t.a.r.s.
