If its being improved Lester, why has the downloadable been stuck at version .14 for several years? I take it back, the last 32 bit release that will run on the wheezy LiveCD install is .14, but I see .17 is available for 64 bit installs now. So you have to reboot to a 64 bit install to use it. Is it worth setting up a dual boot? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
