Hey guys,

Just wonder what nobody here seems to used the etcupdate package... It 
is quite simple to use, and it make that update part easy. Is there 
anything you don't like about it ?

And by the way : what are your symlinks exactely ?

I use to do that but some soft complain about that config files are not 
"actual" file... can't remember which ones (postfix?) so my file remain 
in /etc, but the symlink is safe in /root. But what to do if I don't 
what those files to be deleted ?

Thank you for the hint
