Oh dear lord.
I remember my first linux workstation. RH 5.2
I remember my first unix workstation. FreeBSD 4.1
I remember working for 9 years as a System Admin for around 2500 systems whose OS ranged from Tru64, Solaris 2.5 to 9, 3 different distribs of Linux with varying releases, etc.
I remember having to keep said servers consistently patched.
I don't want to sound elitist. I don't.
But if someone finds it inordinately painful and aggravating to keep 30 WoW Addons updated in good working order ..... Then they simply shouldn't be running linux as their everyday workstation machine if they want to keep their sanity.
It has, however, been a few years since my SysAdmin days. Is kernel and lib patching for *nix systems now down to One Button Updating now, too?
If so, ignore what I just said **sigh**
