Geez, Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Centos must all be doing the wrong thing then deploying updates to their thousands of users whether they are individual desktops or people who keep their own local repository for their servers.
I didn't say they were doing a *wrong* thing, I just implied it was not as good. Besides, I bet if you talk to people who use advocate one of those distributions, they would claim their particular distribution's update management system was better than any other one's system. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
