Given the continual stream of security updates I see for my machines, I really encourage you to upgrade. I suggest that hardy, a long-term-support release is probably easiest and best - it will stay supported for quite some time. -Rob signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Thanks everyone, I'll go with that. Reason I still use Gutsy is that the visor module (for Palm/JPilot) appears to have broken after Gutsy. Admittedly I spent about 3 nanoseconds troubleshooting it and really should try to solve the problem or lodge a proper bug report... (Reminds me of the story given in management classes about the guy too busy chopping down a tree to stop for 5 minutes and sharpen his axe so he can chop the tree down faster). -- Sonia Hamilton. signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
