Every d= istro is doing a different thing, but none of the support is anything people = are going to push to the current set of systems. Part of the problem is everyone is basing "last year"'s distros off "la= st year"'s kernels (2.6.18, 2.6.19, 2.6.20) which do not have the shutdown changes. If you update to the very latest kernel, you are in fact on yo= ur own. Ubuntu Gutsy (about a month away), openSUSE 10.3 (about a month away) a= nd the next Fedora Core work fine, as they have a need to (affected kernel and userland combination) but current distros like Etch, Hoary, 10.2 an= d =46edora Core 7 just have no reason to update for the vast majority of users and their unaffected standard kernels. --=20 Matt Sealey Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations Alex wrote: > I'm sorry, but another time the message appears, I don't understand,=20 > sorry but the shutdown isn't updated at Debian. >=20 > Alex > http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/certificate.cgi/411619 >=20 > Alex escribi=C3=B3: >> Hi! >> >> I'm Debian Linux distro user and when my computer go down it was=20 >> saying to update my shutdown utility and this url:=20 >> http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html >> >> I wrote this e-mail to you to inform that when I update the Debian=20 >> distro yesterday (01-Sep-2007) the message disappears, if I'm not=20 >> wrong Debian distro have now update the shutdown.
