Sorry, Camaleón, it indeed wasn't. It was Tom H. I apologise. You appear to me to be arguing on the same side as I am. I _like_ tried and tested. I _like_ stable. I upgrade my workhorse when there is a good reason, and am rarely an early adopter. Let other people iron the bugs out. Where I want to follow something new (e.g. Trinity) I do it on a non-production machine. GRUB 2 strikes me as great, except when it causes problems. Too many people report unbootable systems with GRUB 2, and it seems to be difficult to edit. I would prefer to wait a little longer for it to settle down. I dislike change for change's sake. We have an ad running currently in this country that makes me want to throw something at the television every time I see it. :-( This woman is bullyied/manoeuvered/tricked into getting a new Windows computer which she needs, not because her old one has gracefully (or even less gracefully) died, not because she is about to shoot and edit a complex bit of cinematography and her computer isn't man [or woman, of course ;-)] enough, not because there is any problem at all, but because her computer is 8 years old. There is nothing wrong with it. It is 8 years old. So she needs a new computer. Ouch :-( My computer is seven years old. It appears a little memory challenged at the moment. I shall run memtest before I even think of upgrading the memory, since one of the sticks might be faulty. I have had a cursory look at motherboards and motherboard bundles - but only briefly.
