    Now, that I hadn't thought about. Wonder what those "tweeks" might be, if there are...
  3. Re: Remix vs Regular on Starling. Advantages? Problems?

    Excellent explanation! Thanks.

  10. [ubuntu] Re: System76 Driver 2.3.7 Released - Extends Starling Wireless & LED Fix

    Hmmmm... This is very confusing to me. I really thought I had installed the new driver, but apparently not. I went to Update Manager and followed the directions to install everything (which included...
