Thats interesting I will check the Debian archives for more details. I will admit that I am currently spending 90% of my time in Debian ATM really like the new Sarge installer and answers many of my gripes including great wifi support for all the old laptops I am installing and the partioning tools EVMS/LVM support is good. Pet peeve sshd doesn't just work, sorry but I think it should. ;-) Wish list is that it can be easily modifiable similar to Morphix and that the initial boot has more troubleshooting tools. I guess a more "Live-CD" environment is what I hanker after but for each architecture. Where APT has the edge is all the add ons like apt-proxy it makes managing a network of systems much easier. I also think that the Debian packaging system is quite lovely once you start to get your head around it. All said I think Debian and myself are going to be quite happy together, though I'm polyamourous and it going to have to learn to share. ;-P If any of the Sarge DI crew are reading well done! :-) -- Peace Jim :-) keys: http://freesolutions.net/jim/pubkey.asc To be alone is better than being with fools. --Pra Thepkavi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
