greetings, I am *sure* Sun Microsystems will sell you a support contract for Solaris, and at least Red Hat Linux will also do something similar for you-- just contact the appropriate vendor directly. I do not use Microsoft, so I cannot comment on their update policy, but basically anytime a vendor releases a patch you will need to evaluate it carefully based on what it "fixes" given your computing environment. on my own network, I pretty much update immediately whenever Red Hat releases a patch-- I use 'up2date -u' and it all just works, and I've never had a problem with their patches. regards, J -- || Jeff - http://zoidtechnologies.com/ || GNUPG Fingerprint: A607 0F19 7C75 1305 67E4 BDFF 26BD 606E 3517 2A42
