Has the FXFFUS.iso also been updated, and if so, is it necessary then to wipe out the original and then install new one, or do
you recommend a better/different way? Thanks for a great distro.

Re: How often do you experience system crashes?

Only a few times way in the past, and I'm going back to Win95, in making that statement.
I can recall one BSOD with Win 1o when it was fairly new, but NEVER one on Linux.
And, I started "playing" with Linux back in1998.
