not the case. The reason I was hoping for this was because of my
kernel
panic issue. I'm still hopeful that something may have been updated
that will fix my problem but I'm not as hopeful now since this is
nothing great.
Yeah, but a kernel panic is *not* a major issue. They are reported all
the time. And it probably doesn't take a *major* change to fix it.
To the contrary, *major* changes typically introduce more bugs. So you
probably *don't* want a major change.
* Major change: re-write or architecture change
* Minor change: bug fixes<-- you want this
But sometimes major changes can fix things and do things completely
different which can lead to other issues being fixed. Seamonkey did the
same when they did their major redo.
Bad thing is, the kernel panics are at it again. I had a little bit of
time to download a video or two but here we go again.
Back to the normal reboots I guess. :-(
