FUSE on what I consider reasonable hardware is tolerable, but, yeah, it could be better. MAA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

With all those patents, the kernel team won't allow it. Well, yeah. It's not bloody likely. I'm rooting for software patent reform, a movement which may be gaining momentum.
