Ok. So many people have been saying "Debian needs a faster release" or "Redhat needs to release sooner to keep my system up to date". And I am not picking on you Ben, your email was just the last one I got. My question is, since this is all Linux, why can you not just upgrade what you want on your own? You want the latest MySQL? Down load it and install it. Want latest PHP? Download and install it. Want latest kernel? I think you see where I am going. I mean, isn't that kida the point of linux? Just a thought. -Erik Ben Lutgens wrote: > On Thu, Mar 21, 2002 at 09:23:34AM -0600, Dave Sherohman wrote: > >Absolutely.
