Sometimes there's a reminder, an initiator of memory and emotions, which occurs upon opening my passport booklet. "Oh look! It's millions of Colones!, and with such a uniquely beautiful design.

F40 through F42 have offered more crashes, more kernel panics, and more core dumps than any triple-set of versions since its dawning into existence - and I've been running this distro for dev-only boxes since the first release. In the worst of circumstances, Fedora notified me of a firmware update, which
