Or, you keep running out-of-date installations. Sure, I accept pushing the envelope for things that need to be gee whiz (games, 3D CAD, and whatnot), but not for the desktop behind ordinary software. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
