They don't read any documentation. That's why you have to to throw it on their faces... somehow the initial welcome messages of Ion also seems to be ignored by many, however. But at least you won't get new lusers complaining of old already resolved problems, or features that have changed significantly, if you provide them with the latest version. People have already used a program for some time, would seem more likely to check if they have the latest, than someone just installing it. >> b) And if your distro supposedly provides the latest software, > > No-one accuses Debian of that, surely? ;-) Unstable and testing are close enough. -- Tuomo
