Debian is an OS. When I install Debian(be it Linux/alpha, Linux/s390, FreeBSD/arm), I want to know it functions like Debian, with all of it's filesystem layouts and interface programs. If Debian Linux/alpha, Debian FreeBSD/arm, and Debian hurd-i386 are all different, then what is the point of Debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
