Been using since it was Red Hat Linux 6, if I recall correctly. Though I never tried 14, I skipped several releases after Fedora 9. I can't say I've ever encountered an externally caused problems. I've had crashes related to video, that have usually gone away with updates, thanks to having to put with /some/ NVidia or ATI cards. > Basically every time I run an update, on anything, something goes > wrong.

I work in video production, and one of the local equipment suppliers used to use me as their "fussy customer" litmus test. If I didn't pick something out as a problem, they were pretty sure that nobody else would. > Can you point me to where one of these other terminals is?

Often, one can type "term" in a command line, and get a basic term, instead of gnome-term, or mate-term, or the command name for some other terminal type. I don't seem to be able to do that at the moment, but I have in the past. Perhaps my MATE install on Fedora 20 didn't bother installing extra ones. Might be worth doing so, for future problem solving. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.18.7-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 11 21:16:53 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
