    I *have* apologised for digressing in response to gore's comment of "The only time addiction is a problem is when it's outlawed. Think for example, of the alcoholics during prohibition. They had no...

    Apologies, I digressed when gore made his astoundingly ignorant remark that all addiction is harmless. The fact that he cited alcoholism as his example made me think that he wanted to expand this...

    Fair enough about video editing, I just assumed from earlier posts that it was a problem. Mea culpa.

    Just a few thoughts:
    * Writing to an NTFS volume isn't bug free. I'll mount an NTFS fs read only, but that's it!

    Ah yes.... but be careful editing things like resolv.conf in SuSE. Running SuSEconfig (which Yast will do from time to time) will possibly write over those changes.
