s/imp/exp/ It's true that i don't have access to your mind, but i can take a well eductated guess [1][2] that you're not the idiot you're pretending to be. Instead you're a slacker who likes to be spoonfed while constantly whining and thereby critisizing other peoples work. For more information, see Karl Fogel: Producing Open Source Software http://producingoss.com/en/difficult-people.html Of course you can continue pretending etc, but you're suggesting here, in public, that one of the authors of links [2] is a clueless unix newbie and probably should not be let within 10 feet of any security relevant source code, let alone simple idiot-proof update instructions.
