Yes, of course it is a rant.  When you get as many crashes and lost
time as I do, I think you would probably rant as well.  I ranted
7 times before and had nothing to show as a bug because it was
HIDDEN behind the piruit (Software Add/Remove) and no log files
were given.  The 8th time it happened to me, I was in a yum
terminal session and FINALLY got proof.  So here it is:
