    TheForce,
    Glad to see it's not just me.
    I wonder what's up with the forums?

    If I could have gotten Fedora 12 to work and not F up my raid 1 I would be in the same boat as you. Oh well.

    My Google Chrome browser has been giving a Malware message since earlier this evening as well. I chose to "proceed anyway", fingers crossed that wasn't a mistake!
