So I don't think this command is a revelation...it's been common place much in the way under RH they use chkconfig. I've read a lot of ranting about YOU in the last 10 emails. And now I think Richard Bos and I have justified our advocation of apt. With apt if I mark a package to be held..well it's held and not upgraded. One of the annoying things about apt at first is it's anal retentive dependency needs but ya know everything works...and I have no dependency issues. I also find it amazing that for the longest time people said " if it doesn't hold your hand and do A, B and C then it won't displace Windows.." and now that it hold's your hand..even to the point of holding it down as MacOSX and WinXP do...now people are bitching. I just don't think that anyone can be satisfied. *shrug* I don't say this to start a flamewar and anyone who gets to out of line with replies will get procmailed to /dev/null...
