I still confine use of betas to my non-critical systems. I learned that lesson many years ago. But 9.1 is "getting there". I need to beat it up some more though.

I'm looking forward to working with it tonight. -- Ric Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/
