<br></blockquote></div>So true. Unfortunately, spending money also feeds into the WAF. I have a spare 1.5 TB drive, and 2x750 in the current system. Over christmas, I will probably back up everything onto the 1.5 TB, and try a fresh Karmic install, and then if it works, leave it alone. I realize that I shouldn't get seduced into running the newest and greatest front end stuff, but it is so shiny and pretty.<br>
