I did not multipost this because I don't follow the other groups.
I installed RoboLinux last week and except for a couple of install questions that confused me, it was up and running as advertised. The target machine is a Dell XPS 210 (duel core)with a new 1T hard drive. I selected Firefox as the browser and was up watching Nixie Pixel Youtubes with out tinkering. I frequently update/upgrade from the command line with what ever distro I am using, no problems ever.
I download and save a lot of tutorials on youtube so one of my first objectives was to find a downloader for that task.

Shows a script that I have tried without success:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
It responds that "E: Package 'youtube-dl' has no installation candidate"
If anyone would care to join in they are welcome. I warn you, I work slowly!

It sure gets tiring to find a Linux Distro that works fine while running Live, install seems to go fine, but updating breaks printing. The last embarrassment occurred when a Windows user needed a print-out...not a good demo moment folks! Zorin 9 Core-64-bit was the offender this time. Previously, it was RoboLinux 64-bit, that was a freebie in February 2014.
Zorin tells people not to update and blames Ubuntu, maybe Ubuntu blames Apple, who took on the printing engine, I wonder if they blame HP, etc.? Please someone help make Linux even better than it is...By the way, Mint can print from Live DVD, but not use my HP scanner...
