A general (no very accurate, but still) observasion: People that maintain a CDD, tend to want to track Debian Stable with its updates. For them you need to stick with Debian and leave as much as possible of the maintinance to Debian. With PDK you generally expect to do all the maintinance yourself. Thus you work with a frozen copy of Stable, and then add some of the packages from Unstable that you need and so forth. You need to do much more maintinance and the result is much les compatible to Debian (think Knoppix). OTOH, the tool allows you to do many more mixes and to spend your time with QA rather than with the building. (Disclaimer: I have not tried PDK myself. This is only based on my reading of the wiki, mostly) -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq#16849755 iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
