Great. apt-get not supported? Now that means if I have a hundred 
desktops to look after, I am going to have to go round to each one, 
login and then start the upgrade process. Even if the upgrade process is 
flawless, this means any huge rollout will be a major pain in the neck 
to maintain.


Why are great tools like aptitude thrown out in the name of user-friendly?
