   Until today, I didn't even realize links was up to v.1.0, never mind 
2.x.
   You know how we dinosaurs get our systems working just like we like 
them, and then only minimally upgrade when absolutely necessary.  That's 
why I still have my old RH 6.2 box running webserver and mailserver
(both naturally patched beyond the final RH security rpm patches).
Though I have switched arachne list reading and writing to the FreeBSD 
5.4 box, using PINE 4.62 now.  I forgot how much spam was being diverted 
by SpamAssassin.  Time to work on that here soon.

   I'm still working on FreeBSD svgalib.  So far I've only got the 
default configuration running in vga mode.  svgalib is supposed to 
include support for framebuffer mode, but it's not defaultly compiled 
in... Amazingly, neither is VESA!
