        very true...I still have a couple of problems...but then
don't happen near as often as they used to. *Main* problem is still
with talk though :(

        everything else seems to work consistently, and each release
of the kernel seems to improve the overall performance of the system,
not only the tcp/ip side of things.

        Just think, if more ppl switched up their kernel's to keep
up with the releases (I re-compile my kernel within days of Linus's
announcement of a release), then we might actually get useful bug
announcements that were up to date, eh? :)
