Oh...oops!  Somehow I thought there were few Ubuntu users. 
Sounds like I'm the only one that openly admits I'm using 
it.  :-)

Thanks for the steps and the warning in your other post 
about how long it will take.  I'll give it a try soon.

I've been doing that a lot recently with data analysis.  I'm 
almost exclusively using anaconda / miniconda / conda [not

direction as well.

Will do!  It's a good step for the TLUG site as many web 
sites seem to be moving away from CMS'.

Thanks a lot!
