Re: Half a million MAC's infected silently!

MacOS-$VERSION uses x11.app. Wayland is still in testing. No one has looked for security flaws within the protocol; and, if anyone has, there is no information available to the general public.

Re: segfault on Squeeze upgrade

Whatever files you need to save, do such.
