I second this: in fact, I think all the information flying past does have the

Agreed, again! What I hate about Windoze is the few times I have used it has 
meant: "The program has performed an illegal operation and will shut down". 
What is the use of this? Similar with some of the graphical messages that come

with an error "Could not resolve dependencies". I prefer yum anyday.

My views.
