Unless they patched the heck out of everything I'd say bad.  I didn't go that
far with it as coreutils had some major issues with the scheme.

Not for me then since I seem to enjoy screwing ... errr ... playing with things
like kernels, compilers, libs, etc.

Understood.  What is the dream machine?

Nobody around there?  Usually there are linux groups where someone has a burner
and knows how to use it.  Myself I am moving away from that philosophy as I
seem to prefer installing straight to targets but still have a few iso's
kicking around.  I was hoping to trade the dvd burner for a decent motherboard
and know someone who is interested.

Could be.  I haven't tried parted in a few years now.  Haven't had a need for
it but I could see it being an attractive idea to some.

 MA> Fedora doesn't get good press as far as i can see.

Not here that is for sure.

I haven't looked at that as they never say what I would want to know.  Mind you
I'd probably change everything anyhow so I suppose there would be little point
going that route.

Life is good,
Maurice
