You are missing the point David. We are dicussing policy, not an individual upgrade. Whether KDE 3.03 to 3.05 breaks anything is beside the point IMNSOHO. It is the testing required to determine whether or not it breaks anything. I understand your frustration but as has been said if you want the latest and greatest go get it. The redhat policy (which I happen to agree with as I manage 48 linux machines , 6 of them directly connected to the internet, and don't want to wait for testing of every library for a security fix) is not going to help you stay on the cutting edge. Any modern OS is an incredibly complex piece of software and when you couple all the applications that RedHat bundles with thiers into the testing cycle the issues grow exponentially. If the software management argument doesnot float your boat, there is a marketing reason too. If RH kept every package uptodate the incentive to buy upgrades is conciderably diminished. my $0.02 Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
