Hi, list.
I'm currently using X.org 6.8.2 per the BLFS SVN instructions, but I was
thinking about upgrading, especially since someone here reported that it had
better acceleration.
I'm tempted to go with 6.9.0, since I am under the impression that it is
identical to 7.0.0 except for the fact that

Has anyone noticed this: in Bash, the command
cd //usr//bin
causes PWD to become "//usr/bin" instead of "/usr/bin". Bash's normal
behavior is to replace all repeated /'s with a single slash. Right now I'm
using Bash 3.00.16, but I've also tried older versions and noticed the same
behavior. This

After using Bash for awhile, one feature I find myself using a lot is the
CTRL+R key combination (reverse-search-history). But a lot of times, I will
press (C-r) one too many times, and wish that I had a way to go "forward"
again to get to the history entry I wanted. Well, the Bash manpage says:

This is a general question about the move/re-size behaviour of every window
manager I've seen under Linux. Most of them support "opaque move/re-size" in
which the contents of the window is updated continuously during a move or
re-size operation.

uClibc instead of Glibc. I'm supposing that there will be some changes needed
