I still regard myself as a "Newbie" but I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly my upgrade to 2.6 kernel went. It auto detected my hardware very well and as per my previous posts on the speed issue, it is substantially faster for me.
Next speed upgrade, according to feedback, is upgrading KDE to 3.2 (but I will wait for the "stable" version) Regards, Robert What Do Fish Say When They Hit a Concrete Wall?

It would? I think it has the potential to be more expensive - futzing around with settings and whatnot. Could take all day if it goes badly. That's more expensive than a $150 HD. Mind you, things still could go wrong with that - copying the filesystems might take a while too. Of course, if you're a postgrad student doing, say, a PhD. Time's cheap. Ay, Michael? Cheers, Carl.
