/snip/ This is my own feeling, but I am running 9.3 and am very happy with most of it. It seems to be a very stable and reliable system. I expect to upgrade to 10.3 after I see what the list says about it. I have not been encouraged by what I have seen so far regarding 10.2, and I had serious problems with 10.0, so I "downgraded." There is nothing wrong with getting better hardware, but you might consider just installing another 9.3 until you see what comes along. I, also, am not a maven. Maybe I was, once, but the hardware and software have overtaken me. And Linux/UNIX is a far different world from the CPM/DOS that I started with! The old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," seems to me to apply here. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
