I answered this elsewhere here: If ever we wanted to take a larger part of the desktop / server market, we have to change our attitudes. If I run Debian stable, apt-get should give me a proper, working system. What a strange approach, to suggest users follow development of their applications and decide to upgrade from other sources to prevent bit-rot. Ron, this is surely not personal. I appreciate your input, even. But if we wanted to convince Joe User to go for Linux (or GNU/Linux), we can't want to require Joe to become a geek in order to use it. apt-get is one of the greatest items in FOSS; superior to anything else, including Windoze update (of course). It must be and remain a one-stop item to get a system to update and for a user to run in order to know about the current state of your 'stable' system. Not Wikis, lists, googles, bit-rots, bugzillas, backports and stuff. My 2 sen, Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
