Hmm... passwd is still in, GOOD LORD, /etc/! Where is resolv.conf? inetd.conf? hosts? /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? Yup, same place they always are.

Who'd have thought you can install java via apt-get as well? Or wait, compile from source even? Egads!

I bet that line works in the board room everytime!

I'm sorry, but if you are using swaret on your company's servers, you are doing them a disservice. I find it laughable that you cannot muster a good word to say about apt-get with all the engineering put into it, yet you stand up for poorly designed substitute for package management, ie swaret.
Good thing I didn't have to pay you for your opinion.
