This is well put :-) I believe you meant to say that you always choose UIDs/GIDs >= 1000. I thought of changing my already existing Fedora UID:GID to 1000, but it was too much trouble, since I rarely spend more that a few logins in other systems, just to have a look, when some cool new feature hasn't yet hit Fedora. This happens rarely in the last couple of years, with Fedora having taken the lead. 1000:1000 would solve everything. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
