They wouldn't because eix-sync would inform you of any updates that you may not ant to wait for. More importantly, if your cron script also runs glsa-check, you would know about any potential vulnerabilities on your machine the day they are announced rather than leaving yourself wide open for up to a week. -- Neil Bothwick If man ruled the world: Daisy Duke shorts would never go out of fashion.
