Your frustration is understandable, though please do try to temper it somewhat with the knowledge that many others are having far better luck - you seem to have hit upon a hardware combination which is somewhat pathological, unfortuantely. I wish it wasn't so easy to do that on the PC platform, but it kind of is unless you're willing to select from a very rigidly defined set of components. I would personally go out and bury that VESA board at midnight on a full moon, driving a wooden stake through its center so that it doesn't come back from the dead, but I can appreciate that you might not have this option. Have you talked to Justin Gibbs? > My question is this .. since -stable is presently unusable unless I want to > strangle my disk I/O (with news arriving at ~3 articles/second) and -release > too buggy for "heavy-duty" use, is -current likely to be any better ? I fail to see how it could be much worse, in your case.. :-) Jordan
