Duly noted. I seem to be in the happy situation that I can soon see this in action, so it makes for a good trial.

Also duly noted!

That is a good reason. Having 8Gb RAM and having to enable PAE might eat into that, though...

Being a PCLOS user, this is everyday stuff... we are spoiled like that!

It might not be a question of 'needing' it... if it makes life easier then that is good enough, isn't it? I guess it all depends on personal temperament, and your opinion is taken onboard.
I need to move, as I feel my questions are becoming more and more diffuse... I shall install Testing and get some experience, so I will have a better idea as to what suits me best... and be able to ask more pertinent questions if needed.
Testing it is... if only for now.
Cheers all for you valuable time and experience, much appreciated!
