Ok , it's made a liar out of me now.

Last night I burnt a OSMC image onto the sd card. and after powering up
the pi3 , OSMC wouldn't even boot up. I then tried for a 3rd time lucky,
with a 2nd burnt image of raspbian stretch, and this time it booted up
to the desktop, where I left it like that overnight.

This morning, it was still at the desktop, and I enabled ssh to get into
it from my desktop.
It is also running 1 python program, and looks like it was just a dicky
image I had on originally, or something screwed it up.
