I do a lot of disk image cloning and swapping disks around among
machines. Does it handle getting duplicates in the same machine
gracefully - or at least better than it used to when they first came up
with partition labels and used them in fstab?

I almost never sit at the console of a linux box - or at least the one
where the programs are running, so I'm much more interested in
freenx/NX, or remote X performance. Or the ability of the GUI programs
to work sensibly when running in a remote window. And I don't think it
is sensible if I start firefox remotely with 'ssh -Y' and it tells a
currently running instance on a different display to open a new window
there.
