I won't touch anything that isn't at least stable...maybe LMDE is by now? Anyway, I have no probs whatsoever w/ Mint, and the Ubu repo's are excellent, of course, but I was just curious. Have a good one, Mark P.S. (and totally off-topic) When you mentioned famous Canadian musicians/bands recently you left out three that were highly significant- Guess Who, BTO and Rush. Guess Who were pretty decent (personal taste), BTO was one of my first favorite bands (I discovered Rock in the mid-70's) and, though I don't care for Rush at all, I respect the talent. A co-worker, around '93, talked me into watching a bootleg video of a concert and, though I didn't change my mind about them, I was blown away by a drum solo! Neil Pert, right? Incredible!
