Linux 3.7 has bugs! (Score:-1, Funny)
Beware everyone!
Last night I upgraded my boxen to Linux 3.7. AWERSORME!
But when, proud of my accomplishments, I went to a well-deserved sleep in my bed, I discovered a horrible problem!
BEDBUGS!
These little critters are gross and almost impossible to get rid of. Since the only thing I did yesterday was upgrade my Linuxes, it had to come from them.
Dear friends on slashdort, Play it safe and wait for the next point release!
