All depends on the patch...this is where Linux really shines, not the Code
itself but the community, this list being a prime example. New security
patch? Odds are if there are problems you will know about that before you
see the orginal patch announcement.

No No No, WINCRAP says "I see something, I think it's a APG card.
Installing drivers if I can, reboot and see if I was right (if I'm wrong,

The day KDE prompts me to reboot is the day I move to something else.
