Heh. Well, Mr.Laptop Drive died and needed to be restored from backups,
so I'm going to be a little less vicious on the initial upgrade and make
this a 2 step process. Ho hum.
The real fun part is going to be cleaning out the system and timing
how long (cd x11/gnome; make install) takes on this poor overworked
machine :)
Seriously though.. I think we'll need to push a little harder, even
if it's just KDE and GNOME for now. Others can follow.
-aDe [24 upgrades to go.. 24 upgrades to go.. find an editor, do
some hacking.. 23 upgrades to go..]
