Upgrade to XP

I don’t know where I’ve been, but I missed this great writeup on Coding Sanity: Review:WINDOWS XP . I also upgraded to XP. I may try Vista again if I get a beefier machine. — and that’s a sad commentary on the amount of hardware you need to run just an OS!!

Synaptic Manager allowed me to log into the interface, but then core dumped. Ugh!
