Sheesh! If it works, I don't mess with it. I won't upgrade unless I put a new machine on line (except for an experimental box that gets a new distro almost weekly, last week was Ubuntu, this is Overclockix week). My main machine (this one) is still running 9.2. Everything works--I ain't gonna screw with it. My wife's machine runs 9.1 flawlessly, and I sure as hell ain't gonna mess with that one! The couch just isn't that comfortable. My motto: Never play with the main machine unless there is a damn good reason. If your laptop was "happily running 10" and an upgrade screwed it up, I don't feel sorry for you ;>) e
