Change is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Something that used to work (and still works on other *nix:es) but doesn't because someone doesn't think it should work that way is... well, what can I say? This is a regression, there's no other way to put it. Also, you say you welcome change... If you could have all of todays functionality in a GNU/Linux OS in 512MB/16MB, wouldn't that be much better than needing several GB (in both hard drive space and memory)? You could put all that space (hard drive/mem) to good use instead... Or are you one of those that thinks change is good just for the sake of... change? Best regards Peter K
