Well, Fluxus can crash, Fluxus with tested code is in my experience really
quite stable, but I'll take the loop anyway because I don't feel like having
to stay in The Hague for 3 weeks, or walking people through exotic issues
over the phone.

Ok. I don't have the time to sort out USB keys anyway, and I already have
the HD running nicely.

Ok, next step; how do I tell people to turn something like this off? Simply
using the power-plug and assume ext4's journalling will take care of any
issues that may arise?


This might also be a nice moment to -again- pause at the wonderful nature of
this list.

Thanks,
Kas.
