   Are you kidding? I'd just like to see some explaination as to what the
funky version numbers/secret key numbers on those things mean. It's
unnecessarily confusing to have undated patch releases with
seckret-decoder-ring naming schemes (a 4.x patch patching a 5.x system?). I
mean, geez, assuming the target market for Cobalt machines is the appliance
operator, what's with the obtuse version number/names?

         Charlie (who starts with a 1.0 release, and actually incs the
                   version number of applications in one direction...)
