dle: A Scientific Venture... > Hi Jack, Thanks for the reminder... However I should have been more clear in what I was trying to say. We can all agree that Mandrake is known as the "newbie's Linux" while of course still remaining a powerful operating system. I was suggesting that Mandrake include some type of update app automatically ready to be configured in the window manager (etc). Therefor, when the newb logs in, they are asked to configure the update app just like in XP. While the updates may not be as severe and critical as they may be in the Windows world, they are still important. I guess I should have anticipated your reply since I AM posting on the expert list ;) Tango __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
