[NFBCS] Introduction and question on VS Code for linux

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,, 
I have not asked on the program-l list yet. I asked on the slint email list and someone there directed me to this list. I will go and ask on the program-l list.

I am trying to figure out how to install visual studio code insiders build on it. I want to test it with orca. I am having trouble finding help on how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try? I do use visual studio code on my windows desktop. I mainly use it for learning to code in Python 3.
