I think users who decide to install Linux on their systems do expect the fact that some things will be addressed differently. Also, I think you mean to say "post installation customization" and not maintenance -- I've never had the need to defrag or refresh my antivirus (I don't have one actually). A few months back, I would have conceded to the fact that with debian unstable you should keep up with the upgrades that come out almost every other day, but not anymore. I just managed to go almost 2-3 months without doing an apt-get update (ok, I was obsessed with it ;) ) and didn't notice the difference. > I'll pitch a very common problem.

But then, is this really _that_ common a problem as you're making it out to be? If yes then it's a reasonably big flaw. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
