   And even better: rolling distributions!  I moved from mandriva to   
   PClinuxOS in 2012 and I am very happy of my choice.  I do not need to

   will compile again or not.   
      
   About the shellshock patch: it arrived the very same day it was   
   delivered, and worked without any problem.
