I'll throw in my .02FRNs about package management. I like dselect. It's the command-line Neanderthal of front-ends to apt, but I think the granularity of package selection and dependency suggestions is far better than aptitude. I tried tasksel once, not again thank you. > I haven't > used Gnome since RH 7.2 preferring XFce throughout my Slackware > days, so I am becoming familiar with both Gnome and Debian. Why? Debian has XFce, there's no need for you to have to learn both a new package management system and a new desktop environment at the same time. I think I've got 5 or 6 different window manager systems on my laptop right now. Twm, WindowLab (which is great for kiosk or other restricted user use), GNOME, KDE, OLWM for nostalgia from when I first learned UNIX, etc. Yep, there it is: pool/main/x/xfce4/xfce4_4.3.99.1_all.deb > In the weeks to come no doubt I will have found a number of > questions to pursue, but so far the docs seem pretty comprehensive > which will be a big help.
