Re: [orca-list] Latest Version of Orca

[RiverWind <riverwind shellworld net>]

Hey There,

You offer some really sage input here, and you pose a perfectly
valid question. You see, before I upgraded to the latest version of
Squeeze Disk that came out of beta during the first quarter of this
year, I didn't have this problem. I am serious about wanting to
learn Linux, but at present, I am unqualified to ferret out the
source of the problem at hand, because of my limited knowledge and
skills.

If what I am dealing with is a distro issue, then going back to
where I started would solve the matter. Either that or just
switching distros that are at least roughly equal when it comes to
currentness. If it is a hardware issue, then it matters not a wit
what distro I employ; I am just scrucked. The anomaly has to do
with my not knowing wherein lies the root of the difficulty; for
that is the million dollar question.

cheerio,
Riv
