Re: Gramps Development setup question

Hi Brad,
I much appreciate the explanation. I am much more at home with Windows and
find myself dragged to Linux every so often, mainly because I want to use
Gramps.
Even so, I end up generally installing Mint and therefore many of the  code
words are just 'Greek' to me, which all too often makes it next to
impossible to interpret some of the tech jargon which is 'obvious' to Linux
users. :-)
