Seriously

Again this morning, 

1.      I updated my mirrors on the club site
one by one because that's the way it is offered there.
Including a pita cut and paste for each requiring a
password.

1.5 hour

2.      I reviewed my sources and temporarily disabled
the old "tried and true" to favor the club junk.

15 minutes

3.      I did a simple update with "'urpmi.update -a
--force-key --wget && urpmi -v --auto-select --wget
--auto --keep' most of which translates to, "this
bullshit is exasperating."

 half hour


4.      Response was 20 lines like this:

/2006.0/i586/hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed: wget failed: exited with 1 or signal 0

So, again.........., I waisted a goodly part of my Sunday
morning trying to keep current in one box.

Multiply that over the 11 boxes in my office and I think
trying to maintain a Mdk network is an exercise in
futility.  

I have actively campaigned among my friends since 8.0,
and now I wouldn't recommend this distro to my worst
enemy.

My dad used to say, "People beat their heads against the
wall because it feels so good when you stop."

Watch me stop.
