Well. Sheesh! Tony, First, "Thank you" for being so forthcoming.
Then just "Thank you." for your work. I will lay off a little bit from an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on Potato (not Frozen, sorry I never have gotten the hang of that distinction), until you are sure about what is up there. I have a little Woody (which I really neeeeeeded) mixed in with mostly Potato. Anyway, I cannot thank you hard working people enough for providing a Linux that is aware that some of us out here just want to compute. Please keep doing what you do so well.
