I have 2.1.119 on Shit-Box (the computer with the modem, which does my ip_masq AND serves NFS...which I mount /home from ) I ran 2.1.119 on Hal...X completely locked up while I was playin with nedit.. even th e"Magic SysReq Key" didn't help... I was able to telnet in and kill X by hand...as soon as I did the screen went weird (prety colors) and my telnet connection dropped... system needed ahard reboot... Other than that...I love the 2.1.x kernels ;) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
