just curious, so please dont flame (unless you really want to, in which case, be my guest): why is this news important? what is the benefit in being on the cutting edge and installing at the minute it comes out, *in regards to a whole distribution*? the way i see it, it makes sense to be on the cutting edge of a certain program (the kernel, for example) if you need cutting edge features or follow up development. in either case, you get the latest code. when it comes to distributions, however, the cutting edge is rather dull, since they have to do testing and packaging. therefore, even with the latest and greatest distro, you dont get the latest code. so, what's the point? why not wait a week or two or a month? in other words, can someone please explain the 'upgrade now, at all costs' mentality to this tired programmer? -- mulix http://www.advogato.com/person/mulix http://www.sf.net/projects/syscalltrack ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
