      Good to know, thanks. I’m fairly new to Linux and reading that this or that distro is based in Ubuntu always makes me wonder how much they share (and why they don’t base those distros on Debian, being the mother of Ubuntu)

      I thought Fedora didn’t either? That’s a Ubuntu exclusive I think (not sure!). In any case, its a couple lines on the terminal and it’s gone.
