Nope. Just pointing out why, in my personal experience, I would never do what you, from your experience, recommended. > I've got just as many > updates-broke-something stories for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and OSX. But I > don't find it rewarding or interesting to engage in platform flame wars. Indeed, not. And I've had updates-broke-something stories as well, but I know Unix, and can often, if not always, simply find the problem, and fix it, or back it out, under Unix, because I know it well. I'm not a Windows administrator, nor, do I expect Toby to be one either, nor, does it sound like he has one in his shop, so bringing in an unfamiliar, and error-prone whole new infrastructure to try and help solve a problem generated by clients outside the main focus of the existing infrastructure is what I'm talking about. I'm talking about methods, not a particular system, which you seem to be missing (a trait amongst Windows people, I've noticed ... *tongue firmly in cheek*). Should the problem be different, I'd be saying "Don't bring the HA-AIX box into the Windows-centric shop, to manage people's mail quotas." Because that would be the symmetric view. > I also find it not-worth-while to try convincing somebody to be more open > minded, or speak more logically, when they have an obvious religious > anti-platform sentiment. It doesn't benefit anyone. Nope. Sorry. Guess again. You are speaking from your own bias, and not actually reading what I'm talking about. > No platform is perfect. Granted. > And frankly, IMHO, windows updates are more > reliable than the other mentioned platforms. Flame bait, FUD, and, provably incorrect, if you want to do statistical analysis on any semi-significant sized chunk of the SANS reports. Sorry. -dkap _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
