Hi Wil,
	I had been running 6.2 on the machine in my office until about 8 weeks
ago.  I held my breath and did an "upgrade" using 7.2.  I had read
mandrake "horror stories" of 12-18 HOURS to do a simple upgrade, and
feared the worst.  Well, the upgrade took less than 1/2 an hour, was
totally uneventful, and the only thing i had to reconfigure was printing
and an update for OSS (free for upgrade) for sound!!  It has worked
flawlessly since!! Mike
