That's good news. If LXQt were merely LXDE with a different grahics
base, that'd be great. We'll see what the Razor-qt has brought with it.

Well, I hark back to the days when we only had "shutdown -h now", so
that's manageable. (Heck, at first we had to shut down the cpu, then
press a shutdown button on the hard-drive (5 MB) in the adjacent 19"
system rack, wait 2 minutes for it to wind down, then power that off.
Them wuz the days. ;)

Thanks aitor, but the little Udoo X86 is used for video streaming ...
though that could probably be wangled on the command line - after a bit
of trial and a lot of error.

Thanks for all the help. I'll take this one step at the time.
