Hey Dan!

 DC> before you'll give 6.10.6 a long enough run to know, you'll have
 DC> upgraded to the next new one.

Possible but unlikely since it is one of the two hotspots for the wireless network.  The only reason I'm upgrading now is because of a storm taking down the other one so I took the opportunity to bring both in sync which they currently are.  The other hotspot is the fidonet node known as Little Mikey's Brain.  It was a ton of work but because of my more adventerous nature on my workstation (aka One of us) it didn't take too long to achieve.  It used to be a 16 penguin system but has been replaced by a quad core I happened to have in reserve.

It is now the Brain on the local scene.  Unless something ugly rears it's head in the meantime I seriously doubt I'll be changing kernels before the new year.

My workstation is a entirely different matter and all bets are off when there is an official new kernel to be had.  Same with gcc and glibc etc.  I know haw to have fun and get away with it ... mostly.  Getting old though.  :::sigh:::

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
