        Sorry, I was just redefining the problem more narrowly (turning
        slim off/on).

        Has there been a pattern to the suggestions?

        I'm almost a full convert from Fedora, but nearly each distro
        has strengths and weaknesses.

        Good idea.  I finally convinced the spouse to do the same at
        home a year+ ago and we haven't looked back.  Ironically,
        perhaps the only application I've struggled with here is
        slimserver - the deb-based packaging isn't as smooth as the rpm
        packaging, imo (having used them both extensively).  There
        wasn't a deb package for a long time and, when it arrived, was
        6.5-only...I had never had any problems with nightlies in the
        <6.5 world, so it took me a few times of getting 'burned' to
        realize that I had to be more deliberate with my upgrades.
        6.5/7 is a big improvement, though, now.

        Well, that's an Achilles Heel, frankly.  I'm sure it'll get
        fixed, but it's annoying to even know it's happening to someone
        else.
