My Ubuntu 14.10 was upgraded from 14.04. VLC always functioned in either one,maybe because I had upgraded without realizing it.
I don`t remember. I researched with Google and found some opinions that upgrading to 14.10 was not a good idea. I`ll address that
later. I did not have any serious issues with either Ubuntu distro,but will listen to opinions.
I have a home office which I use with associates. I lend my computers to them to use here. My Linux computers are four AsRock
775i65G models. These are 3.0 gig duo 64 bit with i gig ram. I intend to use them with Linux OS only in each. I`m intrigued about the
opinions of some that Mint 17.1 is better. My point is simple. This is primarily for a networking business,not pleasure. I defer to those
that know. When I call myself"Newbie",it is while admitting that I have other computers which are XP( I am not in love with this OS),and
Macs which I am using right now. I see Linux as a way to hold down the CODB.(Cost Of Doing Business). My Macs are very reliable and
up to date,but expansion of this business will require more stations. I use my Ubuntu 14.10 very much. It has it`s few minor flaws,but
the price is right. I`m contemplating putting my three other AsRocks on line,but with same distros. As for the several older Dells, I will
give them away. They have XP. I do not intend to upgrade in Microsoft OS. Not when I can use Apple OS and Linux.
Thanks. I will read attentively any suggestions. I can use my Macs while deciding what distros go into my ASRocks.
Cheers

In the "system tray" to the lower right of the screen there should be a "shield" looking icon. It will contain either an exclamation point meaning updates need to be done or a green check mark indicating no updates need to be done. 2. From the menu select "Administration" then "Update Manager." I will try and get caught up on the issue later today. I have been out of pocket and I know I am one of the few who runs Linux Mint especially on multiple machines. Loyal
