I somewhat agree with you... the only problem being: what if I edited
my menu and the admin then installs another package, one that I'm not
interested in?
Would it still be installed in my menu? Even if the submenu it
installs in (like Apps, say) doesn't exist in my menu?
I think... some (nice) way of advertising this would be best here.
Extending motd, anyone? Is there some sys that puts more into motd
than now? Maybe... something like the GIMPs startup tips window, so
when one logs into X, it's somewhere...
All that needs to be configurable, of course (and it needs to be
written :-}
Anyway,
Bye, J
