All of the problems are SuSE's (or fill in the blanks for another distro) fault! You don't release a set of packages without trying all the pieces. I remember back in Caldera days when I suggested that Caldera could have done a better job of testing before release (I believe it was a rogue and largely unusable version of Netscape that provoked my ire), I was severely beat about the head and shoulders by this group for my stance, but that is still my opinion. BTW, CUPS is a perfectly good example of not testing. They released a few versions that were broken (they screwed up the use of Ghostscript) before they realized what they were doing (inadequate testing), but now they have found the "sweet spot" again. The CUPS delivered on rh7.3 is quite usable, whether or not I prefer it. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Redhat 7.3 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
