How would you feel if the announcement came but you couldn't get the updates? On Debian I tend not to worry to much about the announcement; on machines that matter I apt-get update apt-get -yud upgrade daily and watch that mail. On taroon (RHEL 3 beta) I was on broadband and did that same sort of thing with up2date. I upgrade pretty much automatically, but I like to see what's happening. -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
