That is an interesting philosophical question. In my view, adding an option that will only be used by 0.001% of users means that 99.99% of users have to read something that is of no use to them. There are many applications - I would take sendmail as a good example - which in fact are only used in 3 or 4 different ways by 99.9% of users. Having to scan through a billion options has made configuring sendmail so difficult that one has to use a special program to configure the configure file. Window is, unfortunately, far better than Fedora, or Linux generally, in simplifying configuration by hiding rarely used options under an "Advanced" tab. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
