The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I've been running the new X 3.2 on my main home workstation for over a
week and the only annoyance is that the default xterm fonts are way to
small to use on my screen in anything but Huge mode. 

This is only a cosmetic problem, though. Everything else seems to work
fine - no major problems, and i haven't noticed any minor ones (except
for the xterm font mentioned above).

The only hassle i encountered in the upgrade was having to run xf86config
again...but that was because a) i failed to plan properly and b) i wanted to
play with the new graphical X config toy.

Summary: A big "Thumbs up!" for Xfree 3.2.

btw: 486-100, 32mb, 2mb s3 trio64.
