Really cool could be function which updates the system automatically in |
4 |
background... as cronjob or something similar. |
5 |
But for this we need a function which reports errors through sendmail or |
6 |
a mailserver to the admin of this system. It could be cool to update |
7 |
these packages with nearly non priority to get a allways up-to-date |
8 |
system. |
9 |
Only an idea |
10 |
|
11 |
And yes, it the greatest Linux ever used! |

*tingles* Yessssss! |
25 |
|
26 |
Will it also do clean up of the old packages after the update? I |
27 |
remember the previous --update not doing that before and I had to do |
28 |
manual cleanup. |
29 |
|
30 |
If I haven't said it before... this is the coolest distro of Linux I |
31 |
have ever touched. Proved by the fact that it's my only Linux desktop |
32 |
that's lasted for more than a week. |
