[etc. etc. etc.] Expressing these sentiments in this manner is unlikely to help your cause. Bear in mind that the Debian developers are volunteers, and I've found over the last 18 months of using Debian that they are extremely helpful, hardworking volunteers. Please, instead of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt in this manner make a positive contribution, either by helping to fix problems you see in the distribution yourself, or choosing another distribution which fits your needs more perfectly. I feel that the effort that is being made to make hamm actually stable before it is declared as such is very commendable. If I wanted a rush job I would go out and buy Red Hat. I don't. I want a high-quality distribution with top-grade reliability and a large selection of packages (the so-called 'toys' you complained about). That distribution is Debian. -thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
