Sorry about Edgy no longer having updates but I am VERY HAPPY with
Gutsey and have no desire to change. That the same fate awaits those of
us using Gutsey is not in my view a bad thing. Once the system is
working great and backed up properly you should not need any updates.
I recall back several years when we watched for new kernel versions
and compiled them for our system and had fun. But a wise person said "do
not upgrade your kernel unless it gives you a desired capability". I
stopped doing it and was happy.
