Hmmmm - I elected debian after using slackware for four+ years, because its what Pitr runs :) http://www.userfriendly.org/
Seriously - I chose debian because it was recommended for servers. I didn't want a distribution that needs wishy-washy X-based tools to deal with packages. Does debian need a "x-based newbies" set of defaults? ---------- From: Randy Edwards[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 9 June 2000 7:18 AM To: I.

Debian needs new users and it needs to be designed to appeal to new users while still maintaining the qualities that separate it from the other GNU/Linux distributions. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org - More software than . | *any* distribution, rock solid reliability, quality control, Randy | seamless upgrades via ftp or CD-ROM, strict filesystem layout, | adherence to standards, and militantly 100% FREE GNU/Linux! -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
