Interesting to read that "stable" may be useful for something. My impression was that most debian-philes were using either "unstable" or "testing". In case anyone's interested or curious, here's a short summary of a recent bitter experience I had with debian. Being cautious and/or ignorant, I installed "stable" (woody). Later I decided Mozilla 1.0 was really lame and did "apt-get -t unstable install mozilla" to get Mozilla 1.4. Apt proceeded to de-install KDE and then horked in the middle of the install (don't recall exactly why), leaving me with no KDE and no Mozilla. This experience left me unimpressed, so my next system will most likely not run Debian GNU/Apache/Perl/MySQL/OpenSSH/Linux. OpenBSD is starting to look good ... -- Joel Schneider joel at joelschneider.net Linux makes computing fun again. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
