i like re-loading systems and starting from known good initial
conditions.  works for differential equations and computers.

	I am relatively new to Linux and love it thus far.  I use it on
two computers 
	at work and one at home for the family.  At work I use an IBM
T23 and it works 
	great.  I keep it up2date and all systems seem to run fine.
However, my PC at 
	home, as of about Wednesday of las week, seems to be very slow
as it srarts 
	and an opens any applications.  I noticed that the CD burner
seems to be 
	acting funny as well.  My computer at home is used by my family
and the 
	default is a gnome session.  I used to be able to simply put a
blank CD into 
	the CD and it would pop up with a //Burn screen that made it
simple to burn a 
	CD.  Now it is very slow to open and when I try to burn a CD it
just hangs. 

	Then Last night I ran up2date at home and it hung up and gave an
error message 
	about one of the packages not having the right gpg cert. 

	Can anyone give me some ideas of what might be going on with my
home computer? 

	Thanks, 

	Scot Huntsberry
