[ubuntu-za] Fwd: Ubuntu software and update centre

[Jan Greeff]

Good morning Jaco, many thanks for your reply.

By myriad selections I mean that if I open "Software and updates," there 
are 5 options to select under Ubuntu Software," 31 under "Other 
Software" and another 4 under "Updates," totalling 41.

Kind regards,

Jan
