Well, maybe I haven't used the right term. What I ment is that
the system (the kernel) never crashed on me (Linux haven't crashed
on me for a long time, but I'm not using it too heavily right now),
but things like ange-ftp not working under emacs, lots of missing
goodies etc.
Right now I'm running 1.1 upgraded from 0.93R6 with most programs
still from my short 0.93 era with no problems (except for the initial
kernel-compile problems you probably saw on the list).

I suppose that should be a gentler aproach.
Cheers.
