That wasn't said because I knew you were the support, in fact I didn't know until now. But I think you are generally correct that debian is a wee bit faster. I am at 98.5, and I suspect the jump to 99.something will not contain any huge surprises. I can recall one distro I had loaded whose clamav was 4 major versions out of date at the time, and what prompted me to switch was that distros refusal, in quite firm messages, that they would not be adding a library that was needed so I could self build the then current release. So I bailed. I quite likely was not missed. Shrug. I am also well aware that in terms of my helping to row this boat, the effort compares to a toothpick. My apologies Scott, I wasn't trying to be personally insulting, but was trying to hurry the ship of state along by playing a duck, nibbling at the heels of TPTB.
