Actually, i'm running potato right now. Haven't had too many troubles with
it yet, submitted bug reports (usually with solutions) when i have.

How about if i steal it from my 6G windoze drive? (: Which i plan to
anyway, once i get the Linux fixed. The only reason i keep it around if
Just In Case someone forces me to use a windows-only prog that doesn't
function under Wine. (no cash for vmware, so don't anyone suggest it!)
Yeah, i know i put a lot into home and usr. For home at one point i was up
to 600M because of too many random data files, cut that in half but i
still want the space available in case i need it short-term. For usr, it's
just huge already, it needs space.

Any particular reason? Remember, i'm asking as much to learn as to get
answers...
