windows free for over 3 years, and proud of it :-)


Maybe for the files, but I only reformated teh one partition, I left teh
swap and home partions as is (migrated home top ext3 though).  

Any way, even once loaded it feels more responsive, snappier is the
word.  

Is ximian adding some extra overhead for debugging etc?
