Endian is doing NOTHING to prevent you from upgrading your firewall; they simply do not make upgrades available except as an ISO image. But since Endian is RPM-based (i.e. the ISOS contain a bunch of RPM packages and a script that installs them), it should not be too difficult to fix this. In the spirit of GPL'd software, rather than griping about Endian, some members of the community could take it upon themselves to grab each new ISO, extract the RPM packages from it, and make them available on some server. -- Wolf N.
