Re: [cobalt-users] Apache Exploit-Raq3 thrill seeker...

Paul,
you have to consider that SUN is testing the upgrade packages on RAQ's
with the default installation (all updates installed). Of course, if you
have
something different on your RAQ then the default, it may break things.
But i don't see that this is SUN's fault. They (SUN) can not know
what software you have installed on your RAQ.
Same with Microsoft, if they release a patch and it breaks your Realplayer
or Netscape then you are on your own.
