My Feelings are mixed.  Apt-get totally rules.  The problem is Debian.  It's just REALLY old.  Everything is Really old.   Gentoo's emerge is like apt-get, except that compiling the packages locally is a really good idea.   Gentoo's got some weirdness to it as well, but ultimately, I like it best (that's what IS on my desktop here).  Well, this one is Doze, the one beside it is Gentoo 1.2.   I dunno.  Maybe I just expect too much.  More likely I'm just too lacking in talent/knowledge to get what I want working easily.  Or maybe I'm lazy.  Whatever.  I just needed to rant.  It was time...   Kev.       ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy Souther To: Calgary LUG Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 11:37 AM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) <rant> I want my clients to run a Linux that is like the one I do so I can support them better. Debian is great but I don't think it would be good to recomend to clients new to Linux so I recomend Mandrake. I alos don't like Debian system structure, I can't find any thing.
