All I know is that I've had Suse 8.0 on my office machine since last September and as soon as I get a free couple of days, it's coming off and debian going on.
I don't like the controlling sense I get from SuSe (an anal-retentive's distro?) particularly the fact that every time I install or update a piece of software (no matter how small) the system has to "update the linker cache" which always seems to take several minutes (this on a 1.6GHz P4 with 256MB, hardly a low end machine). In a nutshell: I feel constrained by SuSe, I feel liberated by Debian. -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
