1) Recently someone said regarding all the setup differences: "after all, linux is linux". I disagree, the networking files, setup files, PPP files, etc... are all notably different; similar but different.
This is like the differences between AT&T/UCB unix. Yes, they are/were both Unix, but... I wonder why it is necessary/useful to have so many differences in the linux variations. Some are natural evolution/selection, others seem gratitutious. Just as in the traditional Unix world, someday there may come a time when convergence of the threads will be useful. 2) It was also noted that: "Newbies also tend to install too much in the initial dselect menu causing a lot of time in conflict resolution." One good solution to this is used in most Windows packages; a set of standard {minimal, nominal, everything} installation configurations, and a custom option. I am not a dpkg expert, but would guess that this would not be too hard. Best. -------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Gregory Guthrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] (515)472-1125 Fax: -1103 Computer Science Department College of Science and Technology Maharishi University of Management (Maharishi International University 1971-1995) -------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
