At home, I'm running Fedora Core 4 on a couple servers and my laptop. Over the years, I end up making lots of config file changes. I'm always afraid some upgrade will not be able to deal with the config files. Similarly, a complete install is a pain because of all the config files that need to be edited to make the machine do what I want. On my laptop, a kernel upgrade broke the PCI. At first I did not relate the problem to the kernel upgrade, so I did a complete reinstall from CD, then had to deal with installing ndis for wireless, etc. It takes a while. Later I found PCI broke again, but tracked the problem to a kernel upgrade. So I just changed the config to use an older kernel. So... it's fun. I am tempted to not fix something that's not broken, though that once got me into trouble when there was a hole in ssl and someone planted code on my server through that hole. Getting back to MPLAB, has anyone tried it with WINE? I've not installed WINE, but am interested in trying it for various old Windows applications that I'm still running.
