I am running slink with kernal 2.0.34 and am thinking about upgrading to kernal 2.2.10 (I have seen posts about problems with 2.2.11 and 2.2.12, no news, yet on 2.2.13). I don't have any dire need to upgrade, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea, or just wait until potato is upgraded to stable and get the new kernal then.
Also, while looking through potato, I noticed that there is finally a new version of wine up. Has anyone used this version yet? I tried wine a while back and could not get it to work well, at all. Now that I have WP8 installed, wine is not quite so important, but there are a few other Windoze programs which I would like to be able to use if wine will work well with them. Pegasus Mail is the major hitch here. I use XFMail, but my wife still boots up Win 3.1 in order to be able to use Pegasus. If wine will run Pegasus, I would probably use it, too. XFMail has a tendancy to frequent crashes (but nothing else under Linux gives me problems like this). I would also like to be able to use Quattro Pro 5.0 under wine. Would I need to upgrade to potato to use this version of wine? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Marc Shapiro http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Linux IS user-friendly. It is just picky about who its friends are.
