Re: [orca-list] Got ubuntu mate up and running on desktop PC - couple of questions

[Jacob Kruger <jacob blindza co za>]

Paulina, will try it out - see it lets me search for packages, etc. as 
well - very helpful.


Just going to play around with interface to make sure am handling it 
right in terms of choosing which packages to install, and then 
initiating download/installation - think have got it, but, will play 
around a bit.


Stay well
