Yeah, isn't CVS wonderful?  I'm not sure how many times it has saved my bacon,
but certainly
more than once.

I also did the faster computer thing.  I bought an FX-51, but I have yet to get
the 64-bit stuff
working.   The 64-bit version of SUSE can't access the Promise controller and
SATA drives that
came with it.  So I need to install a "normal" IDE drives (probably this
weekend).  Still, even
without  taking  advantage of the 64-bit features and registers the speedup was
*very* nice
(roughly 2x).  Worth a few elo anyway (at the very least it shouldn't make it
weaker).  Either
way CCT-6 should be fun.
