Tomato is my venerable AMD64 3800+ (host 1075531) who has been complaining recently about the demands I make of him. I retired him from CPDN last December--OK, I tried once in February of this year, but he didn't like it. I gave him simpler fair to chew and he's been doing well.

I shook the dust bunnies out of him, fixed some things, and said several incantations. The engineer in me can't leave well enough alone so I (we) tried CPDN again.

The first 3 attempts were "negative theta", "negative theta", and "negative pressure" all within a day. We were both quite discouraged, but I reminded Tomato that this wasn't (probably) his fault. We agreed to to try one more time.

While Tomato hasn't trickled yet (but I have!) our fourth try has survived longer than the others. We are cautiously optimistic for the future.

Dammit - I thought this thread was about a new release of Ubuntu!
