Examples and counter-examples... For example, I had to use an old laptop for a little while. I thought that with a Kubuntu, it would be faster and easier. It was for some stuff, but NetworkManager /managed/ (sic) to freeze my keyboard several times. As I had ever done it, I hand-configured wpasupplicant in roaming mode and it works like a charm... And I get a lot more little annoying bugs under this all shiny new version of Kubuntu than I would ever have with Etch. OK, (K)Ubuntu is more on the bleeding (positively AND negatively) edge. And well... My preference for Debian is a lot more for "ethical" reasons than for technical ones. Regards, Didier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
