Maybe this is too general of a question, but trying to route out the 
answer seems like to would take a while. Is it common for any of the 
distibutions to set up cron jobs that just *have* to run at a certain 
time (or maybe *by* a certain period of time)? I'm talking about stuff 
that would compamise my system. I currently run SuSE 9.0 Professional. 
Should I take on the task of finding out everything I need to learn to 
answer this? I just have too many project to deal with. But turning off 
cron jobs seems like another good way to eliminate problems while 
recording. I'll take any advantage I can take.

Thanks,
Rocco
