The problem with Debian is that there is a mix of manual and pseudo-manual stuff made for folks like yourself.. The problem with Mandrake and related distros is that they lean entirely towards your side. It may be extremely easy to get Mandrake up and running the first time, but as many said you'll get sick of it eventually and wander back to Debian or Slack or somesuch.. What I like about Debian is that I can install it on my workstation at work, my PC at home, and my mail/web server.. The only difference is that I am more adventurous on the desktop machines and run the unstable distro, but my server essentially works _the same_ as my workstations.. I can test stuff on a workstation and then implement a change on my server in the same way and generally expect to have little or no problems.. Do that with Mandrake.. :) -Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
