Well the point was that if OpenBSD had an auto update function I could have installed that and he would still be using OpenBSD happily. If Linux did what OpenBSD does then he would be a happy linux user, well aside from wanting Itunes, though I'm under the impression that's been sorted quite well now. As far as he was concerned he had a fscking watch, what's wrong with this fscking piece of.. or words to that affect and really he was right. The alternative was Vista which took and I mean no joke like 15 mins to finish booting, despite a cleanup and the drive checked out ok. He had just started a gym and couldn't afford extra ram at the time. No need to get touchy, simply real facts, better aired than ignored. Not a great loss or anything. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together.
