|The answer to Chuck's "somebody who solves this will get rich" (paraphrased)
|is to set up a service company to do 2 things:
|
|	1) remote apply bug fixes to business user's vanilla un*x clones,
|	   using something like the Blue Lynx(tm) technology;
|	2) on site or remote install new, purchased applications software,
|	   and maintain with patches.

Yeah, but would a business be willing to let outsiders snoop into their
files?

Personally I think it's time we had disposable system disks. spool/uucp
full? Copy the stuff you want and shred the cartridge :-). Well, reformat
is cheaper.
