Just have a few drinks and do what you want with it. It probably won't complain in the morning.

I was there already. I make those typos all the time. I also transpose letters and hit neighboring keys.

This doesn't apply to you, Shaunak, but I have many friends in Vietnam and Russia who like to practice their English with me on IM's. They will make small typos or use slightly incorrect words or syntax. They will get frustrated with themselves and start to say that their English sucks. I always say, "no man, you're conveying meaning just fine.....keep going! We'll work on those little details later."

I've had many Mexicans use excellent fuzzy logic to decrypt my Spanish over the years. My decryption and fuzzy logic skills in English are top of the line in return.

BTW, getting back to Xubuntu, I upgraded every machine in the house last night, but I made one little f***up that resulted in a less than perfect install on two of them. I'll post the issue and corrective actions later. Live and learn.

One of the machines has had a long upgrade history: Ubuntu converted to Kubuntu, then 2 upgrades of Kubuntu, then conversion to Xubuntu, then 2 upgrades of that. You're supposed to be able to upgrade Debian and the *buntus forever, but there comes a time when it's just sweeter to wipe and do a virginal install. I've been meaning to put my "/home" directory on a separate partition for years, so this will be a good time to do that, too.

Friday afternoon:

Getting ready to wipe, repartition, and reinstall. It's a little frightening, lol. One false keystroke, or misreading which drive is which, and it's all over.
