As Tina and I have found out, going the upgrade path doesn't quite cut the mustard. We did an upgrade on her machine, and a fresh installation on my machine; big difference. She now has no sound, frequent lockups and crashes, mcc doesn't work properly, urpmi doesn't work properly; but hey, it was just for a test and she's going to do a fresh installation after she backs up her junk. My machine, however, is running fine and dandy. Performance was tweaked a bit from the beginning, so I have all the right drivers, all the right, well, whatever, and very few issues. (Although, MailScanner and SpamAssassin kill my performance sometimes, but hey, this is a server AND a workstation, ya?) -- stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
