Yes, as I did after my first `scribe add test` (not realizing that test now
is front-row default).

But I experienced enough issues so far with using stable - some of the easily
fixed by using the test version.

Still wondering who qualifies as "normal user" among SMGLers;-)

I have currently 7 bugs filed (the last one really looks severe: console font
switching completely broken - consolechars just segfaults on the three
machines I tried to use it on; that even affects the installation iso - did
anyone actually manage to change the console font?).
I'm considering adding more, p.ex. the openoffice spell (both stable and
test) casting gcc33 but letting it rot in /opt/gcc3 and use the standard
gcc34 for compilation, which fails horribly. With /opt/gcc33 in front of PATH
it actually succeeds (but taking well over 4 hours on a 2GHz machine - way
more than _anything_ else (p.ex. kde together with X and maybe glibc, too,
when we're at it)).

What? Should this make sense to me? Just tried to look at stable-rc ... but
why does the gpg signature fail? Since we settled that spells are hellish
dangerous in being able to do everything, should I trust that one?
Nevertheless, for sure there is some wiki page or so explaining these
confusing new facts. Before getting into that, I'll try to help me, though,
to get a work system up for once and actually work with it. I did so many
installs in the last few days while the main productive part took place with
writing eMails on my very custom LinuxFromScratch-powered Notebook (apart
from doing my study/work on the same machine, of course).
Thomas.
