Thanks for that. Now I need to know where can I watch it legally.

Not available in my location so I had to resort to ‘other’ means. It was a nice one-time watch and as Agatha Christie was worried in the show, I guessed the murderer before the ending ;)
I accidentally unsubscribed from F.O.S.S. when I was doing a mass cleanup of my email system (Thunderbird).
Resubscribing is not as straightforward as I am finding out.
Please re-sub me.
Thanks.

Thank you so much ,it took me about 5 minutes using your site to fix my problems on Ubuntu. The brightness problem , getting rid of Xubuntu screen .The Forum is just full of people giving way over complicated answers of which 99% didn’t work. Your instructions are precise and to the point and they work.
If I were you I’d talk to your 3rd party vendor about what they are offering on shop.itsfoss.com… MS Office courses? Really?
