Re: Test Cycle Three
Well. Sheesh! Tony,
First, "Thank you" for being so forthcoming.
Then just "Thank you." for your work.
I will lay off a little bit from an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on Potato
(not Frozen, sorry I never have gotten the hang of that distinction),
until you are sure about what is up there.
I have a little Woody (which I really neeeeeeded) mixed in with mostly
Potato.
Anyway, I cannot thank you hard working people enough for providing a
Linux that is aware that some of us out here just want to compute.
Please keep doing what you do so well.
Regards,
montefin
