hehe... no not new... you'd never know it by the questions I ask but
I've been running linux since redhat 3 series circa 1995-6 or so.

I probably shouldn't admit it though.. It seems like there are
getting to be sharper and sharper newish users here.

Just a very slow learner... or as some have said... not the sharpest tool
in the shed.

But thinking it over a bit after the other response I can see where it
would be really difficult to cache that output.... I hadn't really
considered that packages may change the answers frequently.
