Remember, a snapshot of -STABLE > taken on a random day is not guaranteed even to boot! if you need an os with "system-crashing bugs" and "not guaranteed even to boot" (at least after a severe crash), you might want to check out windows XP ;-) i heard there are "random snapshots" of driver binaries and libraries available for download at its manufacturer's web site, too. word of mouth even told me that someone "certified professional" may be called to fix your always b0rked systems after receiving moderate amounts of $$$. :-> sorry, couldn't resist. /k -- > Open Minds.
