has it really been 2 years? yikes! yeah that is on my mind, it is just that
9.2 has been running so smooth, i like to wait and make sure the next
upgrade is stable. And then I will have to reinstall all my plugins etc,
sigh, but if it is only every year or two i guess it is worth a few hours
of time.

i suspect the viruses just got in via an rpm install, though I can not
recall installing any skins for xmms, i wonder if the infected files were
on the isos used to install Mandrake 9.2. i will have to scan an CDs and
any isos downloaded before trusting them (ok i am guilty of not doing that,
but i am learning that is sure -- awakened by credit card fraud identify
theft this past month, taking steps i should have done years ago)
