Wow, thanks for all the help and advice. I reckon there is plenty there to explore when it is cloudy. I am really pleased that Linux is active in the astronomy field as it has certainly saved 3 decent laptop computers from going to landfill. Linux takes a bit of getting used to especially after 40 years of Windows. For Office programs Libre Office does everything I need and Firefox connects well to the internet. It is a shame that Quickbooks doesn't have a Linux version else I would consider ditching Windows for good and save the need to update the computer every few years.

I have a couple of old laptops that are well past their Windows sell by dates but happily run Linux Ubuntu and Linux Lubuntu. Is it possible to install Mallicam for live viewing on these computers? Secondly, is there a way of installing ASCOM drivers so that I can use an EQ5 with GOTO? I could find anything on YouTube.
