    The real question is why hexes weren't in use all along.

    The obvious one is Redhat. RHEL 3 is the newest version to still use a 2.4 kernel. It may still be supportes, but that expires October of this year, so the OP should already be getting ready to upgrade.

  23. From the perspective of a student on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 0

    I am not a home schooler, and I never have been, but I am in a [public] school and can tell you what we kids think. We've had a lot of kids transfer from home to public schools, and they get along fine, beyond the normal "I don't know anyone" of new students. Now, you couldn't tell that they were home schooled at all, unless you asked them. However, there is one home schooler that we know from scouts, etc. (he's my neighbor). He is the stereotype. He's 14, but still doesn't know a lot of social things, mainly how to detect immoral people and immoral activities. He's a very vocal Christian. His family has 7 kids (6 daughters younger than him) and homeschools because they can't afford private school. 90% of cases work well, but people like this is why there are sterotypes. Man, this post got long.
