There's also a chance that a meteor will fly into your computer, rendering it inoperable. Doesn't happen in practice though... When's then last time anybody _actually_ had a problem with this? Is there _anyone_ (well anyone with a clue, anyway) who actually quits X to upgrade their system (after all the typical debian user upgrades several times a day ... :-)? [The upgrade scripts in fact seem to be very careful about not hosing a running X session -- e.g. if you upgrade gdm, it doesn't restart it, rather it says "arranging for it to be restarted when you quit".] -Miles -- `Cars give people wonderful freedom and increase their opportunities.
