I went to the latest stable, which turned out to be 4.9 RC-something, and my system started hanging. Then when I went back to 4.8 it kept on hanging. Turned out to be a disk going bad. Maybe 4.9 is haunted, maybe its daemon has gone rogue and started eating hardware. :-) -- Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com If you hold a controversial position you will draw controversy and its cousins: denunciation, dislike, etc. It's the price you pay.
