Very possibly I'm just naiive ;-) The thing is I'm not running -current, (even if I read both -hackers, -current, and cvs-all) and I'm not very well informed with how Linux progresses. I just thought I'd ask... 2.1.5-RELEASE didn't stand the test on his P75, at least. No idea how 2.2 nehaves, but I intend to see if I can get -current up and running on one of my machines this weekend, at least. It's running 2.1.0 right now :( Been too lazy to upgrade it, since I haven't used it for much more then xterminal... > > Anyone tried to fire up 40 crashmes and wait?

Seems to work very well, no? That's great. :-) I'll be back with more stupid suggestions, when you least expect it! :-) :-) /Mikael
