Thing is, that's not what Alan seems to want. Alan wants something like |
| 25 |
Ubuntu or something where you tell it to upgrade and then walk away |
| 26 |
without checking anything. Yea, you can script some things like |
| 27 |
syncing, emailing a -p output to yourself and such but all that requires |
| 28 |
a break in the process and Alan doesn't seem to get that part. Alan |
| 29 |
wants to type in one command and not put any effort into checking what |
| 30 |
will be done or needs changing. |

I run a desktop here and it's not like my life or anything depends on |
| 33 |
it. There is no way I would do blind updates on this system for any |
| 34 |
reason. If I'm to busy to do my part, I wait until another time to do |
| 35 |
the updates. |
