Hello, I really do not want to start any flame here but after all, as I used Debian for few months, I find honest to say why I'm leaving it.
So few months ago, I installed etch on my laptop (previously had Fedora-5 on it) just to try it and because I think is good and important to try other distros when you have some free partition / computer and time to do it. Hereafter main problems encountered (some recurrent) these last months : - as I installed etch around 50% of shutdowns never complete. So common that I was used to unplug battery simply to shutdown. Same for 'logout session' which allways freeze the laptop with a new login attempt. - recently I had to 'pinning' apt-get (or dpkg..do not remember..) on previous version because latest version continuously break apt-get repository. Only cost few hours of googling to find a solution. - 'kde su root' reject root password (...which was accepted in a 'su root' in a console) - flgrx / mesa / libGL often block apt-get update/upgrade seems because of a dependency about libGL. Difficult to install a 3D system but even more difficult to keep it stable that I decide to forget 3D when using etch on my laptop. - others..sorry only remember hours of googling to find solutions.. Once again I do not want to start any flame here : indeed Debian is a superb distro (packaging system is really superb) but, IMHO, dedicated to 'Linux techies' ? However my conclusion is this week-end I'll move back to Fedora (even if yum is so far behind dpkg). Bye, Bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
