I tried to find a newer OSS but it looks as if 1) they are going
commercial and 2) ALSA is the way to go.  Unfortunately, I need OSS for
an app that I work with daily.  mmmm.

Great.  I do not want the DVD controls on the front working, or I want
to control when they work.  Under Doze, I kept hitting them when typing
and that sux.

I used the svga server and didn't change my fbcons (SuSE may have done
it).  I just configed and here I am.  Very stable, so it seems.  What is
the issue with 'clobbering my clocks'?  Is it dangerous to my machine?

2GB more disk.  The processor is only 5% faster or something.  All in
all the series is a nice machine.  I only wish I could get the LCD to
run at 1280x1024
