It's been running on this laptop for over a year without a reinstall (knock wood). 2k does work very well, as well. <br /><br /> I feel guilty though. I keep downloading new Debian ISOs. They're sitting on my desk, crying. <br /><br /> But I'm still a linux hacker if I wrote a procmail receipe today right? Right? Yeah, I know. I'm a luser now.
