Well, if you upgrade your system as a distribution, rather than piece-meal, on-the-fly, method (via dftp), it sure does make sense that a "distribution" influences memory management issues. I choose to wait until a stable distribution has been declared and upgrade my entire system in one sitting. That way, I _know_ that all the necessary packages have been upgraded. Unlike another gentleman on this list who upgraded the kernel, but did not upgrade the libc5 module and could not understand why his machine was slow. 8-) -- -= Sent by Debian 1.2 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
