It's a good idea. But IMHO people who get stuck into older releases are unlikely to benefit. From my experience, people usually install either the latest version of the 'oldstable' OR they go for the "stable" and if they do install from stable, they will usually install the X.X.01 or higher of the "stable" version in order to benefit from the bugfixes etc after release of a new version. Now the ones that have been updating would keep on updating and thus once a new release moves in the "stable" would move into that as a general maintenance task. But the ones that do not / can not upgrade, they are likely to miss the last "flagged" release. Instead how about a "Check for upgrade" link in the intranet? Just my 2 cents :) cheers -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
