Three cheers for Girish! I am one of the low level varieties benefiting from

Should one upgrade and to what extent? At what point does one decide that an

Are SSD's a need or is sofware going to be minimilastcally placed on the

Fellow linux fans;
The Ctl+l shortcut refuses to clear screen as it used to. It has decided not
to obey bash and has
taken a life of its own; returns a puny 'l' ! Any solutions, I am in Squeeze!
Of course 'clear' still works.
