I've installed FC2 here at work, but when I tried to use smbfs to mount
a Windows server, the smbfs kernel module oopsed.  Anyone know of a way
around that?

<rant>
Also, why does Gnome keep stripping out useful features every time they
upgrade?  Like viewports from 1.4 -> 2.0 or edge-flipping, or selecting
other window managers, the "start-here" shortcut, the address bar in
nautilus?  And how many gods do I need to offer sacrifices in order to
get panel to remember everything (or even ANYTHING) after an upgrade?  

What are the ICBM coordinates for Meta City?  I have a rock to de-orbit
into them.

Can qt-cups be any closer in look-and-feel to Windows and not be sued?
Why do I need QT on top of Gnome and X11?  Does FC2 feel they cannot
afford a bloat-gap?
</rant>

Sorry about that.  The upgrade from RH9+Ximian to FC2 left a few things
out.  Like yum.
