Yah, like there isn't a patch out everyday for some security problem with linux too. I spend my days patching Win2k, Redhat, and FreeBSD boxes. They are all almost as bad. At least with Windows boxes the patches are easy.

Critical updates (Such as this) should be passed over by the repost polive.

Criticial updates should be a regular thing to check (or just use Automatic Updates)

Besides...with a place like this, one should search for something like this first...stuff hits here before it even happens sometimes ;)

Just bump the original thread.
