Matt,
/. was showing that 2.3.41 was dropped today.

Me? I still haven't installed Linux - actually that's NOT true - I did
install Mandrake 6.1 2 weekends ago, but had problems with my video card
(XFree86 3.3.4 SUPPOSEDLY supports the card, but...). I de-installed, and
I'm waiting for my copy of Mandrake 7.0 from CheapBytes.

My opinion of Linux so far? A bear to set up, might be good for this RT
stuff, is good for servers, but isn't ready for the prime time on the
desktop yet. Application support, ease of install, and stability of system
configuration (NOT the system, but the system staying the same for a year
at a time) just isn't there YET. I liken it to Windows 2.11
