Wimp.  :) 

 I'll have that caveat added to the page in a few minutes. 

May I also use your guide on that page?  [1]





I have to say though, that until I mentioned I had never had any
troubles with Sid, I'd never heard of any--after that, seems that I'm
hearing things almost daily, not only from here, but from some other lug
lists as well.   

Until a week or so ago, I would have cheerfully put it on a non-mission
critical production box.  (I ~still~) think it's far more stable than
many other distributions' "stable" releases.

Actually, unless I hear from you in a few minutes, I'm putting it on,
but I'll just call you, "one of my mentors" rather than using your name
till I hear from you.

Buffy: It's weird, though. In this way, I feel like he's still
watching me. 
Willow: Well, in a way he sort of is...in the way of that he's right
over there.
