Well, I did say a rolling release may not be your cup of tea. Although, I am curious to know what ZDaemon is doing to make it bork over something as low level as a kernel version.

I did not preserve the error message but it was literally something out of whack such as a segfault. Note that even on Mint 15/16 I have ZDaemon crashes unless I run on fullscreen mode. ZDaemon has always been pretty finicky for me w/ my hardware (running a GTX 570 and x64) in wine so it's probably a matter of time before a Mint upgrade breaks it. It's a shame because for finding casual Doom deathmath or capture-the-flag in these days you can always find a game in ZDaemon unlike any of the native Linux ports.
