Hi! Wilfred,

On Wed, 09 Aug 17, you wrote to me:

 WvV> Can you test this one:

Done!  Same complaint... no config.  'Active' for 0.0014 sec.  There were still 
2x seti@home jobs chugging 24/7, Firefox, Tux Commander, and an RDP client 
running this time.  No VirtualBox appliances running this time.  BTW, this host 
is a stock HP 110-501a; its network name is 'junkpile' after having viewed 
Carey Holman's unboxing/review of a similar piece of kit on EwwToob, while the 
box was still in-transit to me.  It runs Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS... at the moment.  
:)

I've had my own for over a decade, which may be 7/10ths of the way into its 
second.

You have a winner, me thinks.  Congratulations.  Thank you.

Cheers,
Paul.
