Hi Tim,
Most of this is my frustration with Debian's release cycles, which means that the stable release always contains old & deprecated software, which is no longer supported.
Quite. The feasibility of backporting new applications diminishes too. I think you've hit on the main reason why Ubuntu was created in the first place.
If you try the 3.0 alpha, you'll see Free has been turning Ubuntu back into our vision of how Debian should be :-)
Once I've got this current project out of the door, I might try a Gentoo install.
Always worth an experiment, but I think you'll find it harder work than keeping Debian up to date ;-)
Cheers! Daniel _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
