I will be upgrading several machines (six or eight), of which at least one has no DVD drive. That means downloading and burning a stack of media -- a job I'm not good at. It can easily cost me a day, even with bittorrent, to have sufficient *working* media. The upgrades, with testing after each, and then scp-ing all my tweaks if I do a fresh install, also take a while -- especially the one that'll require swapping out a lot of CDs. Getting used to all the new stuff, while fascinating, is sure to take another while -- even if I hold off a week or so for others of greater competence to find and fix trivia. Yet I also have a life. I don't want to schedule a day or three of other things, including promises to friends, just when I can expect to be busiest here; nor vice-versa. So I'm not in a hurry; but I do want to know, the further ahead the better, when the changeover is apt to come. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Wordcrafty Squirreler FC 6; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.129; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.6, Opera 9.21, Firefox 1.5, Galeon 2.0.3, etc. Remember I have little idea what I am talking about.
