I have written up most of what I have done. I was thinking that
dev1galaxy.org was the best place to put it.

The web-browser on my iMac is dillo which is fast and light and nice to
use for many things - and utterly useless for other things so Palemoon
will be the next install, followed by VLC so I can watch DVDs again. I
fully expect my system will get polluted by systemd and probably
pulseaudio too, we'll see!
