Yes, and it was not repeated on the reboot. Some things didn't survive the 
update, like I had to have htop reinstalled for starters.  And all my custom 
desktop icons are gone but that's fixable.

As for cups, I believe its working as localhost:631/printers is showing me all 
the printers shared from this machine just fine.  But it took FF a good 35 
seconds to run the first time, that is about 25 seconds too slow.

Re this constant cycling of the cpu fan, is there a bug in pcscd?  I killed 
two copies, neither of which was using any cpu, but only got one copy back 
when I restarted it.  And it didn't seem to effect the cpu fans cycling when 
I stopped it.  This lappy does have a card reader but I keep forgetting its 
there, and have been plugging in a usb thingy that works just fine.

I may be hearing things too, one of my psu's here in this room has a smart 
fans, so I may be hearing that.  Way too many fans in here, 9 with the lappy 
running.  8 w/o, 2 in the router (dd-wrt) and six in the tower this machine 
lives in.  I should put the covers back on that tower as it might reduce the 
noise some, but would raise the cpu temps too.  They hover in the 140F range 
when amanda is at full song running gzip -best.

Thanks Claude, I gotta go help the missus with some Christmas lights.
