lHm ... gedit does not check the spell! I did immediately purge it and install mousepad. Wht is mousepad not the editor as the distro base on XFCE4? In the last of the 4 register of "settings" in mousepad, it is possible to activate spell check. And it seems to work! But, sorry only for English US! Is that possible? Those Linux editors are really totally decadent...

(spelling tested outside of luakit in XFCE4-mousepad... I, a man having never learnd English will try to save the spelling of English against some ones as I am!!!)

oh! you find Linux doesn't like children (no distro includes stuff for then)! you can be right...

the actual former gnome office (gedit abiword gnome-browser gnumeric gimp gimagereader gparted as well as, over that, event. xcalc magicpoint and didiwiki) gives your self made distro professional competence in all office fields and are good companions!

it becomes an really very heavy browser, the opposite of the Midori in SLITAZ. Will the Midori user change completely his comportment? And what is with the history (it was in my opinion a GREAT error to force the user to show his history... nonsens from the most webkit adepts, including epiphany I am sorry for it because it would really be "the" browser for Linux... But Gnome is in the same crisis as KDE was...

fsmithgred and aluma, great thank!

I agree, start with minimal (netinstall until tasksel > uncomment at the top of tasksel but preserve the foot options > continue the installation)

restart + apt update + install xorg + menu + jwm + refractatools bases + gparted + synaptic (perhaps, if you hate the use of only apt)

restart + make you initial snapshot and nurse it later!

restart + install all the other stuff you want (the actual management of dependencies is good; you can try a "cascade line" of apt with all the rest as you only expect a dektop live!

you will wonder! with your nursed "initial snapshot" the time consumption is to see as "short"!

Note:

You will spare a lot of time if you don't install some new Grub PC with each installation!!! How to avoid it: really easy! Reinstalling with refractainstaller from the nursed "initial snapshot" and only add the needing lines in /etc/grub.d/40_custom from the unique version of Linux that you install with grub ;-) ... Enjoy!

Hi ExposeGlobalistsMadness

Thank you very much for that info.

The problem is my very very old way to work: I use intensively HTML all the time. And I did adopt in the past, probably about 1994 and I know no better system to manage information especially if you use a wysiwyg software! At this time Chinese developpers did offer not a real wysiwyg software but a coupled combination of a very simple minimal internet browser with an editor with special keys for all main HTML codes permitting to work extremely fast without errors as the code came from itself and was extremely compact! And it was possible to commute instantly from browser to editor and back to see! a few time later came the mozilla suite with the real  wysiwyg software as Linux did begin to become a real competitor for Windows95. It was a maximising of work efficiency.
Today, 30 y. later, Linux become a poor system...
No wysiwyg new software, the existing ones (followers from Star Office) produces giant code (for that, we have in Linux the really professional system Latex!!!). MS-Office recognize the language of little parts of texts since 1997 and checks then! No Viavoice in Linux etc.
My purpose is NOT some browser more but complete suites!
In the industry, we did have years along 2 systems: a central and professional system including for drawings and computer aided design, and a local place system for people with only few formation ;-) . Since 2000..2005 began the last one to ween in the favor of clients. So software like photoshop at the one side and autoCAD at the other did begin to become some (very poor and later a bit) standard. And enterprises having big professional systems did have to make face to clients determinated do use only the poor for ex. autoCAD software and did send drawing as contract base made on cheap poor autoCAD software...
Linux did become not the successor of serious UNIX any more but only the competitor in poor from MS-Windows...

And that is the level today.

A lot of base software for this stage comes from Germany (KDE, Star-Office, Sun's java, Suse-Linux, really a Linux used early in the German administration and one of the 2 first Linux distros of the world, etc.), the country were I live and did live all the time.

We don't need more browsers! We need better software, compact, fast, with clear design (would you take a printscreen with gimp? I know how to but it is not for me although gimp one of the best software to process the picture resulting of the printscreen...) and without disturbtion caused by software errors...

no question Helen!

Ubuntu, the anti-ecology terror group, which wants to make billions of old PCs junk, with which billions of people from poor countries and areas are still very well learning, working and relaxing, and still do that with 32 bit systems years after the terrible decision from Ubuntu .. Real environmentalists have hatting Ubuntu since then!

Fortunately, several distributions have resisted the temptation and their already made decision to also do this, and still give us 32 bit OS's (I am a user with a powerful 64 bit hardware since ab. 20 years, but out of solidarity with the Poor countries I only use 64 bit systems extremely rarely for special purposes and then only by reading live OS's in the RAM)! Thank you Devuan, Debian, Mint (hm...). emmabuntüs (one of the distro's for poor countries and peoples), etc, etc., and Puppy Linux (also EasyOS: a French idealist did convert it this year in a French version to 32 bit under preserving the concept)!

In my opiinion is Linux ill, very ill: The main IDEA, the reason for the birth of Linux, was to port the winner system UNIX to MODEST USERS and now, as it became a success, Linux managers dare to try to de facto exclude the most modest ones, poor world!

The Linux evolution is pure disaster. Barry Kauler (Puppy Linux) did build a complete little Linux 64 bit environment having a size from under 100 MB (without browser) in one language (English) with all the stuff what an average home user needs (excepted browser! Browser is not recommendable as it is the stuff having the must frequent actualization's needs!). And you need today 100 time more to cover the SAME needs (or perhaps less) with the actual stand of 138 bit, not excuse me, 32 bit Linux (I did go in the wrong think direction!) and about 200 time more in 64 bit for new versions where repetitions follow to other repetition (install for ex. only the minimal graphic envir. into an empty Linux base with only a CLI access and, yes, you get immediately a graphic mode editor (xedit) and graphic mode calculator (xcalc) and a viewer (xditview) being not used or known any more since years by ALL distro builders. it is so. The chaos prevails over the tree directory and hurt the initial very good Unix and early Linux dispositions. 200 tongues or more are included to the system and you will use only 1 UNIQUE tongue with it! Linux is bloated like a bloated stomach...  It is a piety!

It would be an important activity, to clean that terribly old environment. Debian has yet the apex exceeded to do that. Clone Debian without systemD, yes, but don't copy in the illness, the cancer being to eat away Linux...
