Just a note regarding Ubuntu. It is a server centric install. <br>

Personally, I'm not a big fan of any of the debian versions<br>
including any of the *buntu flavors. But as systemd destroys more<br>
and more linux distributions, I am increasing leaning towards<br>
ubuntu.<br>
<br>
I would like to know where you get the 500 per day number from...<br>
