Hi

Of course, sorry, how thoughtless of me not to feed back information to 
you. To be honest, I've always assumed that it due to user error.

Starting Aeolus in a terminal (I normally run it from a menu, I assume 
that makes no difference besides getting more info from the terminal?) 
it says:

Synaptic tells me I have version 0.6.6+2-4 and Stops 0.3.0-1. I'm 
running Ubuntu Studio 8.04 (downloading 9.10 as I type).

If you need more verbose output, you'll have to tell me what to do as 
I'm still rather newbish in certain areas, even after 5 years of running 
Linux!

And I wish someone had told Triumph and bloody British Leyland back in 
the 70s that cars aren't supposed to have minds of their own :D
