I had once problems due to lack of experience using a mixed woody-backports system. The worst case were when I used a back port for compiling and running 2.6 kernels in woody. Somehow I managed to break gcc and/or important devel libs, in a way that I could not compile a new version of the kernel anymore. It would be really great if there were a testing-based distro that released security updates for its packages. I wonder in what state is the UserLinux project. -- Yves Junqueira www.lynx.com.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
