The interface oh well.. but what I dislike about etc-update (and it's |
| 11 |
replacements afaik) is this tendency to want to restore files to their |
| 12 |
original state.. One keypress to many, one moment of not paying enough |
| 13 |
attention an whee.. gone is fstab, XF86Org or some other important file.. I |
| 14 |
really don't understand why the system doesn't have blabla.conf.dist files to |
| 15 |
fool around with and leave it up to the administator to check of changes and |
| 16 |
the like.. |
