Raymond, I won't take offense to your comment with regard to my Linux
ignorance or for the belittling and my apologies for not being as
self-sufficient as yourself.

Why is it that people want to tell you what you should and shouldn't do -
did I ask if I should compile source, no? So, please don't give your opinion
on what you think I'm capable of doing, you'd be surprised..

If you wanted to comment or help maybe pointing me to find the information
that I asked would be a start, if not then that's fine also.
