Not to sound defensive, but in what way is it not good?
The install disks are, reportedly, quite rough, and there's still a
couple of things that need to go into the archive (which will, I
guess, happen when master's been relocated), but I've been running
this system for several months, now, with X and everything, and I've
found it very stable.

Well, if we can get Tim's system installed (BTW, Tim, if you can get
me the specs on that machine, I maybe can whip up a kernel image for
you), we might have a week or two with a nice fast machine *now*.
That'll help a lot, as my UDB is far from a performance champion.
