Define "the right thing". To eloaborate, there is no "right thing". There are a whole bunch of "things" that are right for some people and not for others. That is the very reason that there isn't a right thing, because if there was one right thing all the vendors would have fixed their operating systems to do it. -- Brian Utterback Solaris RPE, Oracle Corporation.
