uhm, good luck... fortunately, linux is much better about sharing the processor than windoze. i _hated_ ripping cd's under '98... surprised i actually got any work done back at stream... i'm trying to finish a project here at work that was due yesterday. > Don't worry.

But buggy X servers sometimes break that. i'll give that a try too. though it didn't seem as if the keyboard was responding. now that i think about it, i should check into being a guinea pig for the kernel developers. considering how much i like "bleeding edge" software... if anybody can break it through normal use, it'd be me. ;)
