(let alone the scary situations where power failure happens in the middle of something more important like eg glibc install)Last edited by nanonyme; 09 September 2009, 09:20 PM.

Originally posted by AdrenalineJunky View Postthough its not built in functionality for apt, you can still downgrade easily enough on debian, just download the package from debian-snapshot.org and install with dpkg -i

To be easy and usable for HC geeks and casual users alike, Linux should be able to rollback in such situations.
