I've got xfs running on my box too (debian, sid), after some suggestions
in a kde irc channel that it might fix some non-kde app font problems in
kde, a while back.  It seemed to help.  I also always remember xfs (or
xfstt?) being installed back when I had redhat, too.

Anyway, why is xfs a security risk, as someone mentioned?  Or did I miss
the part of the thread where that was discussed?

thanks,
Kevin
