Famished

#252896 - fam uses 100% of CPU

Ha, I had wondered what was locking X and generally making my system unstable. Consider yourself excused: update-rc.d fam remove

Having to reboot, however, did allow me the opportunity to knock the clock speed up to 200, giving me 2.2GHz or 3200+. So far all without incident.

So now I have a system that is 22% faster and no longer choked by famd. It is also, hopefully, more stable, meaning that my primary concern is now (brown|black)outs. However, I have not yet reached the point where I would consider a UPS.
