And I worked on Spacewalk in early '09. AAARRRRGHGHGHGHHGHGHHHH!!!! It went from .3 to .4 while I was trying to implement it, and I think it hit .5 as I left that contract. It was a nightmare to install and configure; I had to tune the free Oracle version to use almost all available memory (it had a max of 1G for the free version), and on, and on. Sounds as though I might want to roll out something like 5 1 * * * yum -y update mark
