But saying that Fedora *requires* broadband because only then can you have continuous updates is nonsense. What about everyone else in the world? *Of course* it's good to have updates, and everybody who can get them should, but is it really so important that without them one would rather not even boot Fedora/whatever? > Telling people to not update packages is actually really bad.
