I really would like to look into this, if you would be willing to help with details. I think that U++ would be a really great match for this kind of job.

There is some small purchase in this possibility. I have about 8 essays to complete in the book I'm writing before I send it off for first round editing. "The Phallus of AGILE and Other Ruminations" if anyone cares about the title. It's a long way from my first. I'm the author of "The Minimum You Need to Know" series.

Within a week I should have nailed down which contract I will work on next so I will know if I'm working remotely or traveling on-site. I do have a Raspberry Pi all boxed up because I'm done using it for client work.

My current desktop of choice is KDE Neon 64-bit which is a YABU. On this particular desktop the U++ PPA wouldn't run. Well, theIDE came up but I couldn't get anything to work. I tried walking through the "Hello Wold" tutorial on the Web site, but it wasn't even close to the current IDE. I'm not blaming the PPA though. I know there is something wrong on this machine, but waiting until first draft out the door before wiping and re-installing. One of my other machines running exact same distro of KDE Neon has been able to install and run a few packages this one can't. Been too many things installed and removed on this machine I fear. Don't really want to take time or risk of breaking things until current book has completed first draft.

Would prefer developing/testing with a non-Ubuntu YABU. Have been considering migrating this development desktop to PinguyOS. I have it on one of my BOINC machines and it looks pretty sweet. It just doesn't have KATE.
