One other question... What does anyone else use to manage a network of Macs? I can keep my powerbook and desktop up to date easily, but it is much harder now that I am managing 5-6 more on a network at work. With all the system patches and application updates, it is becoming unmanageable. Not all the machines on the network have Internet access, so SUCP is useless. I do have Versiontracker Pro, but without Internet access, again, those machines without Internet access are orphaned. Any suggestions?

Don't tell everyone everything you know 2. The software box said, "Windows XP or better," so I bought a Macintosh. "Macintosh.
