Happily, we actually have some evidence that the exercise would be of some value. Further, it looks to me like the implementation that was done was done in a pretty naive way. Something done more seriously would likely be radically better... -- http://linuxfinances.info/info/linuxdistributions.html "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." -- assortedly attributed to Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Rita Mae Brown, and Rudyard Kipling
