but why would you do that? Sarge has been a perfectly good system for two years (iirc - it's too long ago for me to really remember when I upgraded) - and keeping pretty current, too. So people who want extremely stable servers are still using Woody, but most end-users who have a clue have Sarge. It would be nice to see it go stable, but I can't see that I'm getting very far behind the bleeding edge with Sarge (eg, KDE 3.2.2 came into sarge last week - just a couple of months after it was released) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
