I was mostly kidding.  Etch has just come of age after a 2-year wait.

I stuck with the debian (sarge) repositories for a long time .. but now
all the applications that matter to me on that box were built from
source. 

Eventually, you run into too many features that are not enabled in the
debian default package that you have to do something.  And I never
really managed to figure out how to make my own .deb's.

Sounds like something I should look into.

Me neither .. It feels like there is some kind of "interference"
colliding with the stream I'm listening to .. although how this could
happen with digital stuff does not make any sense. 

I'm with cablevision here in the tri-state area .. maybe someone on the
same loop is doing weird stuff that's messing me up?
