Christophe,

RH9 is on my list of things to do; it just hasn't happened yet!

2.4.20 is a noticeable improvement in efficiency over 2.4.18 - you can feel the
difference when using it.  It is amazing what is happening with Linux.

Hopefully we will see Tiger for Linux some day!  If you do that, will you port
your own GUI over from Windoze or will you use Xboard or another existing GUI
already running on Linux?
