That is likely so. It used to be better.

Probably. :/

Clever trick. What FTP server did you use?

Yeah, there's the one I like best, then the several that I can make do 
with if I have to, because PCLinuxOS is a one man band, Tex's health 
isn't good, and dunno if there's anyone going to continue the distro 
when he hangs it up. So have been trying to come up with another I like 
as well... so far the answer is "not really."

But I keep Fedora up to date because it's been useful (tho the 
performance is really suck by comparison... 5 seconds to the desktop vs 
2 minutes), tho I'd not like to be using it for everyday. And everything 
else I like less.
