Every time I log myass out and back in again, the count of processes I own rises by one. This would seem to indicate, at best, a minor inefficiency inherent to the design of Xubuntu and to Xubuntu's...

Thanks for the report, bruno172. I knew I felt better about installing any new major release of the distro from scratch rather than accept an "upgrade" based on the prior version, and you have...

I have a web server up on some arbitrary port number that is not a well-known port (doesn't require superuser to listen on it) and happens to equal 3000 in my case. I can browse to the web server...
