  1. You're not crazy... on The Truth About Flourescent Lights? · · Score: 1
    I've seen it mentioned in several places (memory fails me - maybe New Scientist or Scientific America). Seems that at about 100Hz the flicker interfers with the eyes ablity to detect edges (or something like that).

    I find that 75Hz gives me a headache (on a 19 inch) but 85Hz is just fine.

    I hadn't noticed any problems with 100Hz but after reading thoes reports I've stuck to 85Hz for all resolutions.

    Back to topic: I also get headaches from flourescent lights, but I know very little about them. I wouldn't live some where that had them, but I have little choice at work.

  2. Stable/development on S.u.S.E 6.2 English released · · Score: 1
    First number is major revision - hardly ever changes
    Second number is release - even is stable, odd is development
    Third number is patch level - bug fixes, etc...

    So this is a stable release (and the current development release is 2.3.x).
