As one of the many people who does not have cheap, fast, reliable internet access, I would like to say that for me to mirror 650 MB of debian and burn a CD of it would cost around $130 in charges and 2 and a half days of straight downloading if I was lucky. Probably much longer. So I'd like snapshots, but really I run stable run until the moment frozen becomes stable at which I can get a CD on which everything has a good chance of working, because if anything breaks I'm pretty much stuffed. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trust the computer industry to shorten "Year 2000" to Y2K.
