That would be true if it didn't make things _worse_. :) But that aside, in this case, the quote in this case should be changed to "the mediocre/poor is the enemy of the good", because once /sbin and /usr/sbin are crammed into everyone's path, there's never going to be any incentive to put programs in sensible places. We'd still have /usr/sbin/traceroute. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
