What would I use XFree 4.2 for? AFAIK it's only new drivers, and I download those seperately. The reason why the new XFree is delayed is one: 4.1 is being prepared for stable (I get a more stable X... YAY!) and 4.2 is being ported to 11 (eleven!!) platforms! This is debian! Not the XFree team, but the debian package maintainers!
I tried installing Gentoo linux on my laptop (previously running debian) and I experienced no significant speed-boost! Why is that? What I DID experience was that it took forever to build mozilla and other packages, and that my entire system had become way more unstable (I configured the stable kernel myself, that one _was_ stable) than my debian. Even debian unstable is pretty damned stable, and I like it that way. Gentoo seems to be nothing but cvs in a package.
I DO like gentoo, and I was probably running it, if I didn't have debian, but I DO have debian, and everything considered, I believe I'm better off.
Re:Wow.. Still [] AA font support!!

As stated somewhere else it's already included. Maybe you should set up your linux and read some howtos before complaining. FUI I've run with anti-aliased fonts on my mozilla since 0.9.9, when I found out it was possible. One reason I could think of, why mozilla doesn't support aa fonts on your system is that you need the damned true-type fonts. That's what did the trick for me. Why doesn't mozilla supply these? Because it isn't their responsibillity.
In short: RTFM
ok then.. 100.000 potential civilizations in the milkyway, total. Now... If the time the earth (just the earth, not the milkyway or anything) have existed is a clock, and now it's 12 'o clock, then we began to be able to recieve messages from aliens (the radio) one second to twelve. In that one second we have a couple of times feared that we would destroy our own civilization because of nuclear war and such...
Considering this - what are the chances that we are not the only intelligent species existing, at this moment, civilized enough to communicate through space? Granted, it WOULD be cool to meet alien races (given that they wont enslave us), but is it realistic? I say no.
Ok... Then we find the aliens to be a mere 300 lightyears away and asume that they have the cure to all deceases or something... Now all we have to do is contact them... Now all we have to do is contact them... By any known means of communications that would take 300 years to reach them. So when the aliens actually come with their cure to all decieses, all humans have perished because we would rather have aliens cure our decieses than doing something about them ourselves.
IF we find intelligent life anywhere outside our solar system it wont change anything, in our lifetime, since they'd be too far away to hear us. I'd rather put my money (and cycles) on curing the decieses myself (ourself).
Even if the administrators were blocking the mails, they would still be transported to the server, for it to block them, and thereby using the servers bandwidth... Although I don't see why emails should be the most effective means of a ddos attack...

Actually 802.11a was approved by EU recently, so no problems there.
