[plug] New toy just arrived

[Shannon Carver]

Heheh, that's funny.

One thing I can say with linux (I speak for myself, and the offices I've
worked in here), is that there's usually more of an attempt to keep up to
date.  For example, when Sarge came out (I was using Debian Stable - Woody
at the time), I spent a couple of days gradually migrating all our boxes
over (all 20-30 of them), as well as the daily critical security and
software updates. 

Compare this to the Windows mentality of some of my boss's (He was adament
about running Windows2000, even on his Brand new Compaq tablet laptop, where
none of the features of the tablet worked correctly at all).  When I first
started there he was still running NT3.51 & 4 Servers too...

I'll also admit that I'm sure I've still got old routers/firewalls around
the place that are running old not-updated pre-Woody Debian installations,
but I try to forget about them..
