Unlike anacron, it allows normal users to have their own crontabs (just like cron). So, it's more like an enhanced cron that handles the type of stuff anacron handles as well. I am still unsure if the final package will try to replace cron, replace just anacron, or work side-by-side with the other two. I'm talking to the cron and anacron maintainers to solve a few technical issues first. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
