Tim, A newbie question: With respect to Linux security/virus protection, is Firejail Security Sandbox (https://firejail.wordpress.com/ ) worthwhile. It is in the Mint repository. The Linux.com review is at: https://www.linux.com/learn/lock-your-untrusted-applications-firejail Another review of it is at http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/firejail.html If anyone uses it, perhaps a discussion at tonight's meeting.

This is an unrooted Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon.

Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB? I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone. It says you need to run companion software on your PC, and they offer that software for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux.
