Building it now...) Well ... I guess that's just IT for Linux. So sad ! Time to concentrate more on the BSDs ("Ghost" is pretty nice). I've only glanced at OpenIndiana/Solaris but it seems to have possibilities. Sorry, but I'm not gonna have who-the-fuck spy on my PC every time I want a Linux distro/update. These days that is just an unacceptable security worry. And, as said, you can't STEAL Linux - so there's no POINT in the pixie girl at all. My existing Linux will probably be good for maybe another year ... after that the lack of security tweaks will become unacceptable.
