Hi rocky. Thanks for this interesting & useful info. No i was vaguely aware of X, but have used 2 for several years [originally in Windows, then also in Linux once i abandoned MS a couple of years back]. I can't really say now why i originally went for 2 over X [too long ago to recall], but since then it'd simply been habitual.
Have now read the X website, & associated Github page. Am a little perturbed that it seems i can't just d/l a v2.03 Deb file, & the repos only have v2.02. I assume i need to d/l & build from source, which i can probably muddle my way through... but lazy cow i am, a Deb file would have been nicer.
As a cop-out, i will initially install v2.02 from repos into one of my Maui VMs, just to have a play with it, see if i like it, & if it will import my pretty extensive KP2 db. If it seems ok, i then would seriously consider going to the bother of compiling & building v2.03 from the source code, for my "real" Maui.
Really appreciate your help, again.
