Yeah, as you log in up, a dozen different applications auto-start and try to check for updates, making anything but high spec PCs grind to their knees. Then the rest of the apps that didn't do that, then, do it when you start them up. Gawd, but I hated having to use those computers, or fix up other people's computers doing that. It was such a pain trying to *start* to do something, as that update palaver got in the way. It's a sanity testing time and money waster. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.6-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 15 13:48:38 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
