ok i think that i was missunderstood when i stated the above. I never
said or implied that E-U did anything bad or nasty. I stated that if i
use something i want to know what it does "-y" to me is not dangerous in
certain forms i use it in a script that i wrote and i use it just fine
so when i stated that i didnt mean to imply that -y was "bad" or "nasty"
the main reason i havent recommended either is because most people come
from windows and they dont know much about linux i suggest people get
familiar with linux by installing things. so im sorry if i offended
anyone i didnt mean it like that. i dont doubt E-U is clean and helpful.
