I've been running testing for years; almost everything works fine here currently. I gave up on the Debian nvidia (legacy 173....) packages and installed them from the nvidia site. Opera is so slow that it's unusable here, but it works fine on my home box (i386); I haven't been able to figure out what the cause is. I have had to put off upgrading, or pull in some packages from unstable, a few times in the last few years in order to maintain the box with the software that I have installed. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Christopher Judd, Ph.
