yep i have started to use linux with suse (the first german distribution) long time ago. than i have changed to redhat. and after all i am now using debian. and is was really surprised how easy debian is to maintain and to keep up to date. after more than one year of running debian, i have still no problems with upgrading with apt-get. and thats not possible with redhat. always problems with missing depencies. and the best: debian packages are really compiled with usefull compile-options. not like some redhat packages which have turned off necessary options :( always forced to recompile the src-rpms. same applies to suse! > BTW - APT is a gem. Well done Debian! full ACK -- cu, goofy Any fool can write a program a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
