Hmmm, BSOD and/or system crash is not "brutal"... it's ...
"disastrous" ;-) and has so far only occurred on my machine with video
drivers when I investigated H/W rendering... my mistake, might consider
it again in a few years... :-/

Yeah, that's a way to look at it ;o)

Hmmm, I bet it will never crash again, must have been some weird random
glitch in Evo's brain...

I don't think I will ever use backports, since the 6 month release cycle
is fast enough to my taste. And with Edgy being only 4+ month away, it
will be there before I have time to swear at Dapper's bugs ;o)
No really, 6 months is a fine trade-off... especially since I usually
switch to the development version after only a couple months ! ;o)
