Was kind of worried about > jumping to 6 until I knew what was wrong. Please excuse the mistake, but it is no longer 6-current. 6-STABLE is what I mean. Many issues with 5.4 have been resolved in 6-STABLE. It has been my experience that 6 is much better on AMD64 than 5.4. I have an Athlon 2X on a Gigabyte motherboard that has been my primary machine for several weeks now. It has been very stable with the exception of TCP NFS. I would highly recommend the move. Cheers, Sean
