If so, how has it > worked for you? I've been using softupdates on my daily-use machines for almost 4 months now. These machines are on 24/7 and take quite a lot of disk use (news server, Samba server, my personal workstation) and I have not had any problems with softupdates. In fact, it has saved my butt on several occasions already. --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> | PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
