Asking the question doesn't mean I'm faint of heart.  Ten years ago I
dumped NT3.51 because I didn't want to go to the more graphical NT4.
I went directly to RedHat 3.$something and then 3 years later to
Debian.  My servers run stable, moving them a couple of months after
stable's release.  Of course, backups are done daily as a matter of
course.

I watched my country turn into a coast-to-coast strip mall and I
cried out in a song: if we could do all that in thirty years, then
please tell me, you all -- why does good change take so long? Why
does the color of your skin or who you choose to love still lead to
such anger and pain?
