Also I wouldn't be brave enough to claim any particular version of Linux, nor any other piece of software, is perfect, though, admittedly, the level of imperfection varies highly across different versions and pieces. In this case I gather this was a bulk change and some platforms have benefited and the DECstation has lost. You seem to have problems as well. These issues can be dealt with somehow and they do not mean the change was bad as a whole. Maciej
