Keesh has a new kernel.  0.99.13.  I'm not sure of the exact version
of 0.99.13 (there are _lots_), this is a somewhat early one.  This
might stop the X crashes.

I hope to reinstall Keesh's main partition (with either tamu or
slackware, I'd personally prefer tamu) and reinstall all athena
software from a real source/build tree.  This will be intensely
useful, since we will be able to keep more exact records of exactly
what outside /usr/athena needs to be changed.

I'm putting the source tree together in /usr/athena/src on Keesh.  (If
possible, I'd like to NFS-export this as well as /usr/src.)

The reinstall will probably happen in a couple of weeks unless there's
a good reason for it not to.  I'll make sure everyone with a local
homedir on Keesh gets a message saying "move your files."

Well, that's the news for now.  I think the linux athena source tree
is coming along real well.  "Great things are afoot."
