Like Charles said, lack of knowing hardware. I had the x-server freak out on me and would not start when I did a kernel update in edgy. This was 64 bit BTW. Since I didn't have the time to play with it, I just went back to the other kernel until recently when I reinstalled with fiesty a few weeks ago. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
