I have been following this thread from the beginning, and I am unhappy with something. I am using 9.3, and it works really nicely. As soon as 10.3 comes out, all my support will be gone. What if 10.3 is a mess? I found 10.0 to be a mess, when my KMail started outputting 5 or 10 percent of my incoming mail in Chinese characters. So I went back. There have certainly been a lot of issues in 10.1 and 10.2. And there still seem to be, according to the messages on this list. I think there should be some sort of support for those versions that most of us agree are pretty problem-free, until another version comes along that most of us agree is pretty problem-free. Yes many of us--not necessarily me-- will upgrade right away, and find out if there are serious problems, and report to the list and to the bug site. Frankly, I do not intend to upgrade for at least a couple of months, until I find out what the cutting-edge folks have discovered. And then I might not. I want a system that works, not one that I have to futz with all the time to make it work. I am not qualified to futz with the system all the time, to be perfectly honest. I didn't grow up with Unix. One of the other things that bothers me is the continual changes to or elimination of things that work, in favor of cutting-edge stuff that doesn't actually work. Like Ann Landers, I say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." From what I hear, Xen is broke, the latest automount is broke, smart is at least bent--why this stuff, why? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
