And there it is, in a nutshell. If you're administering many machines with different OS and setup, it would be counterproductive to do it any other way. If you're writing code on your own workstation then you can tweak your environment the way you like, and that can be worthwhile. Expending the effort to "move in" makes sense if you're going to live there a long time. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
