    You're a gentleman and a scholar.  :)  Thanks for also being a nice guy!

    I've toyed with moving up, I'm just hesitant; only one of 5-6 of the 
machines even HAS the OpenGL card, so 'wobbly windows' won't help much, 
even if they don't just drive me crazy, looking at'em all day.  But I'm 
also curious to see how well Canonical manages from LTS to LTS...so I'll 
look into fail2ban.

    And immediately, I have some other problems to fight, namely mailman.
