Did I say "switch to Red Hat"?  No.  I just said that on Red Hat
systems with tmpwatch installed, you shouldn't need to worry about it
in general.  I also tried to imply that tmpwatch is probably available
for other distributions.

I just checked, and it definitely comes with both Mandrake and SuSE,
but not Debian.  A quick Google search shows that Debian comes with a
similar (apparently enhanced) utility called tmpreaper.

So my point still stands.  This is a problem that the average Linux
user should not need to deal with under normal circumstances.
