Well I have a few EV56's, so those are fine. I think one machine I have is an EV5 or maybe even an EV4, but it only has 32MB of ram so it is totally useless as debian can't run on it. So I personally wouldn't notice the change. Anyone else out there? -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
